interface. SDC (JESD204) data rate ranges of 312.5 Mbps to 3.125 Gbps are supported. The minimum
supported data rate is 611 Mbps, so a 5x oversampling factor is used for the SDC (JESD204) data rate of
312.5 Mbps, resulting in a data rate of 1.5625 Gbps.

SATA and SAS Protocols
Serial ATA (SATA) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) are data storage protocol standards that have the primary
function of transferring data (directly or otherwise) between the host system and mass storage devices, such
as hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state disks.
These serial storage protocols offer several advantages over older parallel storage protocol (ATA and SCSI)
interfaces:
• Faster data transfer
• Hot swapping (when supported by the operating system)
• Thinner cables for more efficient air cooling
• Increased operation reliability
