18 Quantum LTO-5 HH SAS Model C User’s Guide
A drive with a SAS interface can be linked directly to controllers. SAS is a
performance improvement over traditional SCSI because SAS enables
multiple devices (up to 128) of different sizes and types to be connected
simultaneously with thinner and longer cables; its full-duplex signal
transmission supports 6.0 Gb/s. In addition, SAS drives can be hot-
plugged.
SAS drives will auto-negotiate speed. There are no configurable
topologies thus no feature switches associated with SAS.
Physical Characteristics
The drive contains a dual port, SFF-8088 SAS connector.
