SAS technically is SCSI, just different. Serial Attached SCSI. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matthew Shrewsbury Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 1:12 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: SATA\SAS and SCSI I personally will miss SCSI. The technology has been around so long that it is hard to image it gone (if it actually does go away). I just bought 4 new Dell 1950 servers and they came with SAS. These servers are not load yet but so far they seem to be working ok.

On the contrary, it would probably make me think otherwise. I really dislike having to work with Dell servers, especially when compared to the Proliant series. If it was adopted for the Proliant series, then it would get my attention. Knowing Dell, they are probably adopting it because they got an inexpensive buy-in and are backing it as a cost-cutting measure, not because it is better technology. I could be wrong because I haven't kept up with emerging hardware in a while. One thing I do know....Dell servers are weak sauce.
