External MiniSAS Cable can dramatically increase productivity

External MiniSAS Cable is a centralized storage solution, which means data is stored in a single location and can be accessed by multiple workstations simultaneously. Sharing content streamlines workflows, eliminates bottlenecks, and the need to duplicate files. By eliminating the need to copy data to multiple users on DAS solutions or searching for files in multiple locations, External MiniSAS Cable can dramatically increase productivity. Additionally, Jupiter mini-SAS can be configured to provide zoned/allocated drive access privileges so specific workstations and/or servers have exclusive access to specific drives or sets of drives.

TE's External MiniSAS Cable receptacle assembly is the next-generation SAS high- density and high-speed IO interface. This interface was adopted for the SAS 2.1 standard and proposed for SAS 3.0 standard, and is designed to support 6G and future 12G SAS applications. The assembly is offered in 4x, 8x, and 16x versions.The reduced size of the External MiniSAS Cable system provides additional space for system designers. While a low-profile PCIe card can accept four 4x Mini SAS HD connectors, it can only accept two Mini SAS connectors.
