of SAS interface and SAS cables.
Ultra320 SCSI has been released allowing for a 320MB/sec data transfer rate. The SCSI specifications allow for the future release of Ultra640 as well doubling the transfer rate again. Ultra 640 is however
will not eventuate due to issues with "data skewing" and the release of Serial Attached SCSI
The release of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) overcomes the problem of
"skewing" of parallel data bits on the cable by running all communications via a Serial interface. This leads to a significant demand for SAS cables. No matter what your application is, we are
positioned to supply you with quality SAS cables at extremely competitive prices.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is pin compatible / cable compatible with SATA allowing SATA drive caddies to be used in Serial SCSI. SAS
controllers can also use SATA drives. The main difference between SAS and SATA continues to be the higher spindle speeds, faster access times, and higher transfer rates available in SAS drives. SAS
continues to be the high performance storage system, while SATA arrays provide cost effective mass storage. While SAS is designed for enterprise applications requiring more functionality and reliability, SATA
is more desktop centric requiring lower costs and higher capacities.
