11.  SCSI is in its 7 th generation with the U320 SCSI and has reached its final iteration  Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is the successor to parallel SCSI  New roadmap and the industry-wide acceptance  Offers significant performance enhancements  3-Gbps SAS x4 “wide” ports provide a cumulative bandwidth of up to 12-Gbps for host connectivity and expansion  SAS will become the interface of choice for entry-level storage and servers  SAS and SATA drive compatibility supports tiered storage SAS is superior to SCSI What is Tiered Storage? Tiered Storage is a term used when customers divide their storage according to their data’s requirements. For example; data that is most commonly used in read environments is stored on cost-effective SATA disks, while transactional data (databases) is stored on SAS disks that are suited for random read / write operations.
