Today, we’ll be showcasing one of the most significant developments to date,
toward getting SAS (Serial-Attached SCSI) more frequently into the
vernaculars of workstation/server buyers and maybe even a few enthusiasts -
relatively cheap, high-capacity SAS storage – thanks to Seagate. Seagate
currently offers 10,000 and 15,000 RPM disks with SAS interfaces at a
fraction of the capacity versus SATA offerings and as such, much higher
prices.
However, Seagate just launched their Barracuda ES.2 platform with a SAS
interface that offers capacities up to 1 Terabyte (1 TB). Not only is the
Barracuda ES.2 the highest capacity SAS disk to date, it’s also the first
SAS disk we’ve seen on the market with a 7,200 RPM spindle speed and
SATA-like pricing. - Link
