Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) cables provide serial communication for transfer of data for directly attached devices, such as hard disk drives, solid-state drives, and CD-ROM drives. In computing, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a point-to-point serial protocol that moves data to and from computer-storage devices such as hard disk drives and tape drives.

SAS technology is have created varies different connectors, such as SFF-8086, SFF-8087, SFF-8088, SFF-8470, and SFF-8484 to name a few of the 17 different types now supported
