1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,319
choosing a new hard drive for your computer used to be a pretty large

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:12,360
production between fiddling with jumpers Master Slave cable select blah dealing

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:17,520
with weird settings and finding somewhere to put those ugly ribbon

4
00:00:14,879 --> 00:00:22,600
cables it wasn't exactly straightforward for the average user nowadays though the

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,880
SATA interface has made things simple almost to the point of making expanding

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:32,239
your storage a plug-and playay experience you pick a capacity and speed

7
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:36,719
you connect the cables and Bam more space for your steam library or your

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:40,960
private videos but while you were combing through all those pages of hard

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:46,760
drives and ssds you might have noticed an option to look at something called a

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,600
SAS Drive instead of s and being the

11
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:53,039
Intrepid Shopper that you are you clicked on it wondering if this strange

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:58,239
exotic interface could give you faster load times in Battlefront or whatever

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:03,879
then you quickly retreated After experiencing the sticker stock so what

14
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:09,360
is this sass anyway and why the heck is it so much more expensive than SATA and

15
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:13,920
could it be worth it for your personal computer all right so let's go back to

16
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,240
the beginning SAS stands for serial attached scuzzy which might sound

17
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:23,040
familiar to you as there's an older version called parallel scuzzy and that

18
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:29,000
was a popular choice for things like CD ROM drives way back in the day modern

19
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:33,960
SAS connectors however can be difficult to find on consumer motherboards even

20
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:39,880
though they look extremely similar to SATA in fact SATA drives will work on a

21
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:45,399
SAS controller so then what is the difference exactly well SAS can perform

22
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:50,799
significantly faster than SATA for a number of reasons one of which is the

23
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,200
bus or the or the communication method itself the latest revision of SAS

24
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:00,360
revision three if you're keeping score at home supports up to 12 gabit per

25
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:08,080
second transfer speeds that's twice as fast as SATA 3 with speeds of over 22 GB

26
00:02:04,119 --> 00:02:10,319
per second expected in the year 2017 SAS

27
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:16,640
also has the advantage of being full duplex meaning that a SAS Drive can send

28
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,959
and receive data at the full speed at

29
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:24,120
the same time SATA drives on the other hand can only deal with full- speed data

30
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:28,160
in one direction at a time and if you're interested in a more traditional

31
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:33,879
mechanical hard drive instead of an SSD SAS drives often feature much faster

32
00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:40,680
rotational speeds to improve performance it's actually pretty easy to find 15,000

33
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:43,280
RPM SAS drives which is over twice as

34
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:48,959
fast as your typical CA hard disk would spin but then if SAS is so great then

35
00:02:46,519 --> 00:02:54,120
why don't people who build you know even very high-end home PCS use it much well

36
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:59,879
it's actually targeted more at the server market for companies that need

37
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:02,959
very reliable storage that many many

38
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:04,959
people are accessing at once so it's got

39
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:09,799
more durable construction higher throughput and support for a large

40
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:15,040
number of drives on One controller making SAS a popular choice for high

41
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:20,720
capacity servers that need to be online 247 such as for larger businesses or

42
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,519
company websites or whatever else unfortunately as I've mentioned before

43
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,599
these additional capabilities mean that soft drives are typically much more

44
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:33,280
expensive per Gigabyte than SATA but I mean let's say you could get your hands

45
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:38,239
on a SAS capable motherboard like we did recently in this video would the extra

46
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:42,720
performance then be worth it well actually the answer is unless you're

47
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:48,560
doing some really weird stuff with your personal gaming rig probably not the SAS

48
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:53,560
protocol is optimized like I said for when many users are connected to the

49
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:58,959
machine accessing data at once meaning you probably wouldn't see much real

50
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,640
world benefit if any at all but I guess

51
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:07,760
it could be an interesting choice for like a home database server something

52
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,480
like that which probably probably you aren't doing speaking of things you

53
00:04:09,239 --> 00:04:15,799
probably aren't doing if you aren't using Squarespace there's a good chance you aren't building yourself a simple

60
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,000
think they have watch support yet but I'm sure once we have an internet

61
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,960
browser that's any good on a watch Squarespace is going to figure that stuff out they've got a ton of different
