SG0-001 · Question #430

Which of the following disk drives can be installed into SAS disk enclosures? (Select TWO).

The correct answer is B. SAS C. SATA. SAS disk enclosures are designed to accommodate both SAS and SATA disk drives due to the backward compatibility built into the SAS interface.

Why each option

SAS disk enclosures are designed to accommodate both SAS and SATA disk drives due to the backward compatibility built into the SAS interface.

APATA

PATA (Parallel ATA) drives use a distinct, wider ribbon cable and connector that is physically incompatible with the smaller, serial SAS connectors.

BSASCorrect

SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drives are natively compatible with SAS enclosures as they share the same interface standard, connector design, and communication protocol.

CSATACorrect

SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) drives can be installed into SAS enclosures because SAS controllers and backplanes are designed to be backward compatible with SATA drives, often utilizing the same physical connector for power and data.

DFC

FC (Fibre Channel) drives utilize a specialized interface and connector type designed for Fibre Channel storage area networks, making them incompatible with SAS enclosures.

ESCSI

SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) refers to a parallel interface standard that uses different physical connectors and signaling compared to modern serial SAS enclosures.
