SAS, Mini-SAS & SATA Connectors

SAS (Serial Attached SCSI), Mini-SAS, and SATA (Serial ATA) connectors are data storage interface standards. SAS connectors provide high-speed, reliable data transfer for enterprise-level storage systems, supporting both serial and parallel communication. Mini-SAS, a compact version of SAS, facilitates high-density connections in limited spaces. SATA connectors, commonly found in consumer devices, offer cost-effective, slower-speed data transfer for personal storage. While SAS and Mini-SAS prioritize performance and scalability, SATA emphasizes affordability. These connectors enable the connection of hard drives, SSDs, and other storage devices to motherboards, providing essential links in diverse storage architectures, from enterprise servers to home computers.
