SAS/SATA HBAs
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Host Bus Adapters
SAS is a broadly supported industry standard that represents the evolution of SCSI beyond Ultra320. SAS is built on the time-tested and robust foundation of the SCSI protocol and delivers unparalleled improvements to performance, reliability, scalability, and availability. LSI offers a diverse selection of SAS HBAs, including four and eight-port options, PCI-X or PCI Express host interfaces, and a wide variety of internal and external connector configurations to support any application.
LSI SAS HBAs are able to connect to SATA and SAS hard disk drives, allowing for tiered storage that optimizes costs and performance. SAS drives are optimal when speed and reliability are of the utmost concern while SATA drives are appropriate when capacity and cost are more important.
