Pushing For 6g Sas
Question: LSI, Dell and Seagate recently demonstrated a 6G SAS network for the SCSI Trade Association. Was this a significant milestone?
So: This was the first interoperable demonstration of a 6Gbps SAS network featuring every component of the I/O path - server, HBA, SAS expander and disk drive. It was a validation of the development efforts of all three companies trying to bring the most robust storage solution to the enterprise industry. It paves the way for 6G SAS in late 2009.
Question: What makes 6G SAS preferable to 8G Fibre Channel or 10 GbE?
