Make the Right Connections Using Unified Serial ™ Products for SATA & SAS One Storage Architecture for SATA & SAS: Endless Possibilities Adaptec Unified Serial™ Architecture leverages Serial ATA (SATA) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) compatibility to provide increased scalability, reliability and flexibility. This architecture allows Adaptec Unified Serial controllers to directly connect to either cost-optimized SATA drives or high-performance SAS drives, or both, in a single storage system. Even build solutions with SATA disks now, and then seamlessly upgrade to SAS disks when business needs change.
Create or Expand Storage with SATA & SAS
SATA & SAS: Serial ATA (SATA) is a serial technology optimized for high-capacity storage at a low cost-per-gigabyte - making it ideal for disk-to-disk backup and nearline storage.
Direct Attached Storage
Reduce Storage Costs
Directly connect SATA or SAS disk drives to a SATA/SAS adapter for low-cost performance
Meet cost needs by using a SATA/SAS controller and SATA drives
SAS x4 to SAS/SATA (4) x1 ControllerBased Fan-Out Cable
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), the next generation of SCSI, is the most advanced connectivity standard. Built on the same SCSI architecture you count on today, SAS uses serial connectivity for better performance, scalability, reliability, and ROI, whether you use it as a connectivity interface, a drive interface, or both.
