With today’s complexity of IT data management, and the need for ever-increasing efficiency and cost reduction, tiering your data based on its use is essential. What that means is that the most frequently accessed information stays on the higher-performance Solid State Drives (SSDs) and 15K-rpm…
Serial-attached SCSI or SAS has a lot of things going for it. Before arriving at Seagate over 2 years ago now, I thought Fibre Channel was the be-all interface but I’ve seen the power of SAS and joined the converted. As described in a recent David Szabados’ blog Is Fibre Channel Headed for…
SearchStorage recently wrote a feature titled, “6Gbps SAS drives signal end of line for Fibre Channel disk drives.” Depending on how deeply entrenched you may be within your own enterprise, this may or may not be a surprise to you. After all, Fibre Channel has a huge installed drive base in…
InfoStor’s article on 6Gb/s SAS and 8 Gb/s FC is titled “The Need for Speed“. Aptly named, as unlike typical ‘speed bumps’, this round of interface speed doubling may be needed right away. And from their interface forecast, it’s clear that SAS will play a…
IT Managers looking for speed out of their data centers are looking closely at implementing 6Gb/s SAS. But indeed, it’s more than that. SAS now comes close to offering the enterprise scalability that we’ve counted on Fibre Channel for up until now. If you’re configuring multi-drive…
Seagate’s Cheetah 15K.7 is the biggest, baddest 15K rpm drive in the world. It weighs in at 600 GB, twice the capacity of its predecessor. And even though it is blazingly fast, the drive makes use of Seagate’s PowerTrim technology to reduce power consumption. It is now available…
Not so long ago the future of storage device interfaces was considered to be a three-way race. Forecasts projected about 30% share for FC, SAS and SATA. The latest IDC projections show that the game will change dramatically to become all about SAS. Fibre Channel’s future as a drive…
If you’re looking for a safety net for your data, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is the way to go. As SAS moves data to and from disks or tape, it depends on a point-to-point serial protocol that uses the standard SCSI command set. While SATA has all but replaced the legacy ATA (retroactively renamed Parallel [...]
