A drive with a SAS interface can be linked directly to controllers. SAS is a
performance improvement over traditional SCSI because SAS enables
multiple devices (up to 128) of different sizes and types to be connected
simultaneously with thinner and longer cables; its full-duplex signal
transmission supports 6.0 Gb/s. In addition, SAS drives can be hot-
plugged.
SAS drives will auto-negotiate speed. There are no configurable
topologies thus no feature switches associated with SAS.
The drive contains a dual port, SFF-8088 SAS connector.
To determine the latest supported operating systems, visit the web at

attaching the drive, see
Quantum maintains the levels of device drivers and driver
documentation for the drive on the Internet. You can access this
material at the web site:
Note: If you do not have Internet access and you need information
