SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) are two popular data transfer protocols used for connecting storage devices to computer systems.
SAS provides a high-speed data transfer rate and is commonly used for high-end enterprise servers and storage systems. It provides a point-to-point connection and supports multiple drives in a single server, allowing for higher performance and reliability.
SATA, on the other hand, is a simpler and lower-cost data transfer protocol designed for consumer and desktop computers. SATA supports a maximum transfer rate of 6 Gbps and provides a single connection per drive.
