C cklaubur Distinguished Oct 4, 2006 1,745 1 20,460 Nov 6, 2013 #2 The protocol being used. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) uses SCSI, while SATA (Serial ATA) uses the same ATA protocol as IDE/EIDE. SATA drives can be plugged into SAS, but the connectors are different enough that SAS cannot be plugged into SATA. Casey Upvote 0 Downvote
