Serial Attached SCSI. A serial, point-to-point, enterprise-level device interface that 

leverages the proven SCSI protocol set. The SAS interface provides improved 

performance, simplified cabling, smaller connections, lower pin count, and lower 

power requirements when compared to parallel SCSI. SAS controllers leverage a 

common electrical and physical connectioin interface that is compatible with Serial 

ATA. The SAS controllers support the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI standard, version 

1.0. In addition, the controller supports the Serial ATA (SATA) protocol defined by 

the Serial ATA specification, version 1.0a. Each port on the SAS RAID controller 

supports SAS and SATA devices.

Any device that conforms to the SAS standard and is attached to the SAS bus by a 

SAS cable. This includes SAS storage adapters (host adapters) and SAS peripherals.
