A storage configuration was created which stores large amounts of infrequently used documents. The storage implementation is based on serial attached SCSI (SAS) and an edge expander. Almost all ports are utilized, and a second edge expander will be installed. What is required to connect SATA devices to the SAS domain?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. cable with two SATA connectors SAS expanders are designed to allow connection of both SAS and SATA devices. If the SAS domain provides a SATA-compatible physical interface, such as through a backplane with SATA ports, then a standard SATA data cable with two SATA connectors would be used to connect the SATA device to that interface.

Answer

A. SAS-SATA adapter A SAS-SATA adapter is not typically needed as SAS controllers and expanders natively support the SATA protocol.

Answer

B. SAS-SATA protocol converter A SAS-SATA protocol converter is unnecessary because the SAS protocol is backward compatible with SATA, meaning SAS controllers can directly communicate with SATA drives.

Answer

D. cable with a SAS and a SATA connector A cable with a SAS and a SATA connector is used when connecting a SATA drive directly to a SAS port on a controller or expander, but C describes a scenario where a SATA interface is available within the SAS domain.
