SAS tackles data corruption!

Experiencing “Drive Not Found” errors? Physical interconnect malfunctions can cause up to 68% of storage subsystem failures. SATA often reports these failures as  “drive not found” errors rather than silent data corruption while the data was being transmitted. SAS hard drives can change that. SAS offers end-to-end nexus checking ensuring data moving to or from a hard drive is not misdirected, helping eliminate a key cause of data corruption.  If you’re looking for more info on how you can eliminate data corruption and increase data integrity in your systems, check out this reserach study presented at USENIX conference last year:Are Disks the Dominant Contributor for Storage Failures?
