SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drives are enterprise-level storage for high performance and reliability in servers and workstations. They are an upgrade to the conventional Parallel SCSI technology, offering faster data transfer rates and improved scalability as compared with SATA drives that are often used in consumer PCs. Contrary to that, SAS hard drives are preferred for demanding workloads, making them a preferred choice for data centers, enterprise networks, and transactional databases.
