Users have reported that the speed on a server is too slow for an application. After examining the server, the server technician determines that the server has SATA drives. Which of the following…

While SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a high-performance interface, the question identifies traditional SCSI as the correct performance-oriented drive replacement for SATA in this server context.

iSCSI is a network storage protocol that tunnels SCSI commands over an IP network for SAN access and is not a local drive interface that replaces SATA drives installed inside a server.

Fibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology used to connect servers to SANs externally and is not a drive interface type installed directly inside a server chassis.

Traditional SCSI drives are designed for enterprise server environments and typically operate at 10,000 to 15,000 RPM compared to SATA drives which commonly spin at 5,400 to 7,200 RPM. This higher rotational speed directly reduces seek time and increases data transfer rates for demanding server applications. The SCSI protocol also supports higher command queue depths, improving concurrent I/O performance under heavy server load.
