…ok lets just call them SAS!

Define Serial Attached SCSI

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) cables are used to connect an array of hard drives to other SAS devices (controllers, hard drives, SAN storage area network, etc). SAS cables can have data transfer rates of 3Gbps, 6Gbps, or 12Gbps with 22.5Gbps in development. These cables have 4 lanes, using a point-to-point serial protocol that moves data to and from storage devices. SAS solutions are widely used in data centers, businesses and sometimes even in small offices.

"Fast and efficient data transfer, reduced bulk cable, and hot swappable devices are all benefits which can be realized with this new standard in SCSI."
