| | serial-attached SCSI - a Whatis.com definition |
 | | Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) is a method used in accessing computer peripheral devices that employs a serial (one bit at a time) means of digital data transfer over thin cables. | | | Problems related to crosstalk are less likely in serial interfaces than in parallel interfaces, because there are fewer conductors in the cables. | | | Serial data transfer allows the use of longer cables than parallel data transfer. |

| | Serial Attached SCSI |
| | Serial ATA made improvements in data integrity and is now able to compete with the Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) in the enterprise market. | | | Enterprise disk drives historically have used an attachment technology called SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) as opposed to the ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) used by the PC. | | | The reason is that the SCSI drives are typically considered to be more “robust”. |

| | Today, serial technology is recognized by many engineers as the future for attached storage devices, meeting needs for longer distances, faster data throughput, smaller connectors, and simplified cable and backplane routing. | | | However, it is the advent of SATA and Serial Attached SCSI that will offer system designers the opportunity to develop a flexible, yet cost-effective, point-to-point interconnect solution. | | | With their increasing cost and complexity, parallel interfaces are no longer the optimum way to attach storage and other devices. |
