6Gb/s SAS: An Evolutionary Step for SAS Technology (PDF)

Storage demands have continued to escalate and now require more and more complex capabilities. Thus, making it necessary for the storage industry to look beyond 3Gb/s SAS and determine what steps need to be taken to incorporate additional improvements into the SAS protocol.This paper takes a look at the evolution of the SAS protocol and examines the new capabilities that will be provided with the next step along the evolutionary process for the SAS protocol — 6Gb/s SAS.
