Servers and drives using SAS offer the best performance and most flexibility to build an enterprise-level storage solution today.  The SAS interface provides several advantages. Some of the key benefits are that the SAS interface supports a large number of devices that can be hot-pluggable and easy to install or remove. In theory, a SAS domain can support up to 16,384 devices, although not all servers offer that kind of expansion. As well as offering dual ports for redundancy. The data in a SAS drive process through two separate and redundant paths. If, for example, one port goes down, it's possible to access the data through the other port allowing complete failover redundancy for the drive.
 
 SAS hard drives offer high transfer speeds 3G, 6G, and 12G. SAS drives that are also solid-state technology benefit not only from high transfer speeds but also are less likely to be bottlenecked by I/O interference.
