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.

People used to connect external cabinets with a single SCSI cable, but not lately.

It might be a single cable, but these days it is likely to be Infiniband or a PCI-Express variant.
