Steve Denegri, RBC — Predicts
"Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is poised for adoption as a data transport in addition to its usage as a disk interface. In fact, with direct-attach storage (DAS) remaining a popular choice for incremental disk capacity needs, a tremendous opportunity exists for SAS in connecting these storage resources to servers. Just as SAS will likely displace Parallel SCSI as the interface of choice for enterprise disk drives, a similar upgrade to SAS may also take place at the host-attach level."

What is Serial Technology?
Data travels in time and space between system components--the server and PC, the PC and connected devices, and within the software. Data that is transferred serially moves one bit at a time in linear succession through a fast single path. In contrast, data transferred in parallel mode consists of many data bits moving together simultaneously on a shared pathway.
The primary differentiator between serial and parallel architectures is the clock. In serial technology the clock is embedded in the data. This results in data constantly moving through the system from one point to another using the bandwidth to the fullest extent. A parallel architecture clock moves data at a measured pace, resulting in intermittent periods of inactivity. Data using parallel paths is akin to a vast army marching under the command of one general--it simply can't move as fast. The benefits of serial technology are well understood and are now being used for the most advanced desktop and enterprise applications including USB, 1394, Ethernet and Fibre Channel.
