Industry's First SAS 24G Verification IP for Enterprise Storage SystemsVIP Experts Blog - SynopsysApr. 20, 2016 |
How fast do we want to access our data? There is a never ending demand for faster and better storage technologies and SAS-4 24G is the latest addition to this. SAS (Serial-attached SCSI) offers an ideal solution for applications with substantial storage, backup and archiving demands. SAS is widely considered to be the prevalent interface for direct-attached storage and is used to support hard drive controllers in enterprise-grade server farms. SAS-4 has doubled the rate with 22.5G signaling and a more efficient 128b/150b encoding scheme to realize a usable data rate of 24G while retaining compatibility with 6G and 12 G.
