[edit] Q + A

Q: It would be interesting to see even a short list of points about how SAS compares to SATA - what limitations each one has the the other doesn't?

A: As noted in the article, SATA is limited to direct-attached connection of ATA drives only and does not support SAS drives. SAS supports SATA drives (in fact, it uses the same internal narrow cables), a complex topology, a SCSI command set, and for SAS-native drives, a globally unique drive identifier. 70.162.144.181 02:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Q: I'd like to see something about performance of SAS relative to SCSI or SATA or IDE. Probably best as a link out than directly here. Leodirac 23:46, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SAS vs parallel SCSI

Since parallel SCSI also support hot swap. I've remove the following line

• SAS supports hot swapping.

[edit] SATA 1 and SATA 2?

In the article about SATA it can be read that SATA II shouldn't be confused with SATA/300. Which is said on www.sata-io.org (the ones who make the standard). So the comparsion between SATA and SAS maybe should be changed. Like NCQ is an "additional capability" as they say, nothing about that it should be in SATA/300. Aqualize 22:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
