SATA (serial advanced technology attachment) are the most commonly found drives within home computers and laptops. They range from sizes as small as 500GB to 16TB, they are also one of the cheaper options for storage space. Although they are slower than an SSD they are practical for mass storage. Although they can be used in laptops they can be easily affected by shock or sudden movement, making them a better choice for something stationary like a desktop.

As for a SAS (serial attached SCSI) is a drive that is more suited for critical applications that need to be run even quicker, fundamentally making it a better SCSI. They are also more versatile as they have thinner cables and are easier to link with SATA drives. They also can come in 2.5” form factors instead of only being 3.5” your average SCSI. Another advantage to a SCSI drive is that it can come in larger capacities than SCSI hard drives, reaching 600GB of storage and more.

So if you need a fast and reliable drive in your workstation or server then a SCSI will fulfil its duty perfectly although it won’t have the largest amount of storage available. If you are ready to pay more or require a drive for more mission-critical applications then the SAS drive is for you as it can reach higher speeds whilst also being more applicable for different situations.
