HP 349239-B21 Serial ATA technology, 2nd edition - Page 9

Conclusion

Page 9 highlights

Conclusion SATA overcomes the limitations of parallel ATA by providing thinner cabling, smaller connectors, lower voltage, and point-to-point signaling. Like its parallel predecessor, SATA will dominate the desktop market because it offers desktop reliability, functionality, and performance at a low cost. SATA technology is ideal for low-cost servers and non-mission critical server storage applications. SAS is the ideal solution for mission-critical enterprise storage applications that require higher reliability, performance, and scalability. The SATA specification provides a consistent platform for the ongoing development of direct-attached and networked storage applications. The SATA technology roadmap provides scalable performance and system design improvements that will benefit end users and system vendors for years to come. 9
