Which of the following connection types provides the BEST data bandwidth when installing thirteen external hard drives on a server?

USB 2.0 offers very limited bandwidth (480 Mbps) and is not suitable for multiple high-performance external hard drives on a server.

SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is designed for enterprise environments, offering high bandwidth, robust error checking, and scalability to support a large number of devices through expanders. Its capabilities for multiple concurrent operations and greater throughput make it ideal for numerous high-performance drives.

While SATA (Serial ATA) provides good bandwidth for individual drives, it has limitations in terms of device count per port and enterprise features compared to SAS, making it less ideal for thirteen drives on a server.

Ultra SCSI 160 is a legacy parallel SCSI standard, which is significantly slower and has more limitations than modern serial interfaces like SAS for connecting multiple drives.
