For more than 20 years, the parallel bus interface has been the mainstream storage interconnect for most storage systems. But increasing bandwidth and flexibility demands have exposed inefficiencies ...

In 2003, the storage industry has taken major steps in transitioning from a decades-old interface technology to one that will potentially revolutionize the way new hard disk drives (HDDs) are designed ...

Serial-attached SCSI promises more flexible enterprise storage, while new low-power, 2.5-inch models deliver better performance That old standby storage standard, SCSI, is about to get a makeover. Two ...

An IT standards body is close to ratifying a new serial interface specification for SCSI disk drives that’s expected to speed up I/O throughput in servers and could eventually challenge Fibre Channel ...

Both SCSI and ATA (also called EIDE) disk drives are about to reach the end of their useful lives as products, at least in their incarnations as parallel device interfaces. Both are giving way to ...

research Serial Attached SCSI or SAS is a communication protocol for direct attached storage designed to allow much higher speed data transfers than traditional SCSI (small computer system interface).

Some of these features were supported by other storage media, but the hard disk was the first medium to support all of these features. Consequently, the hard disk helped make many advances possible in ...

Once, long ago, in a galaxy not so far away, storage interfaces were pretty much proprietary things. Eventually the world split into storage devices dedicated to mainframes and storage devices devoted ...

A standard hardware interface for storage drives. Introduced in 2003, serial attached SCSI (SAS) superseded the parallel SCSI interface and is widely used in datacenters where large numbers of drives ...

SCSI (small computer system interface) and ATA (advanced technology attachment) are two standards for connecting storage devices to a computer. Traditionally, ATA was cheaper while SCSI was more ...

(click thumbnail)This year SCSI, the industry-recognized naming acronym for "Small Computer Systems Interface" is 20 years young. SCSI standards began their evolution under a different name – SASI – ...

Supporting the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) industry standard for storage system and hard disk drive interfaces, the PM8380 QuadSMX 3G Gigabit serial interconnect is a ...
