Hardware, Embedded Systems SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), often called parallel SCSI, is almost 30 years old and can hardly keep up with the demands of today's IT environment. Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) was developed to address the limitations inherent in SCSI. This article highlights the differences between these two interfaces and points out the attributes that account for the increasing popularity of SAS.

There is a mistake in the article. SAS top speed is not 3 GB/s, but 3 Gb/s (bits not bytes).
IBM messed something up again ;)
