Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a high-speed data storage interface designed for high-throughput and fast data access
Intended primarily for data storage centers the SAS interface is backwards compatible with SATA
This allows the user to mix more expensive lower-capacity SAS drives for applications that require faster data access and higher reliability with lower-cost higher-capacity SATA drives for applications with lower access speed requirements

Description

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a high-speed data storage interface designed for high-throughput and fast data access. Intended primarily for data storage centers the SAS interface is backwards compatible with SATA. This allows the user to mix more expensive lower-capacity SAS drives for applications that require faster data access and higher reliability with lower-cost higher-capacity SATA drives for applications with lower access speed requirements. Monoprice carries a full line of quality SAS cables with connectors for every possible application both internal and external. This 1 meter long cable uses 30 AWG wires and is intended for internal use. It has a 36-pin SFF-8087 male Mini-SAS plug (with locking latch) on each end.
