Specification: serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a high-speed data storage interface designed for high-throughput and fast data access. Intended primarily for data storage centers the SAS interface is backwards compatible with SATA. This allows the user to mix more expensive lower-capacity SAS drives for applications that require faster data access and higher reliability With lower-cost higher-capacity SATA drives for applications with lower access speed requirements. carries a full line of quality SAS cables with connectors for every possible application Both internal and external. It has a 26-pin SFF-8088 male mini-sass plug (with release Ring) on each end. guide to SAS connectors Type # of pins environment SFF-8087 36 internal SFF-8088 26 external SFF-8482 29 SFF-8484 32 SFF-8470 34 external (also sometimes internal)is intended for external use.
