another benefit of SAS-based storage subsystems is the native dual port
capability of each SAS drive, providing a redundant path to each drive in the event of a controller
failover. In addition, since each drive is on a separate point-to-point connection, losing a drive
connection only affects a single drive. Compare this to parallel SCSI in which losing a bus affects all the
drives on the bus. Point-to-point also means that each device has the ability to connect multiple
initiators, allowing peripherals to be shared between several servers.

probably the best known benefit of SAS for external storage is its configuration
flexibility. A SATA drive can be plugged into a SAS mid-plane without any modifications or changes, the
controller and the software will seamlessly support a system with a mix of SATA and SAS disk drives.

The above benefits of SAS explain why system manufacturers, including HP, are rapidly moving to SAS
interfaces to connect internal peripherals. Customers purchasing a HP DAT Tape Drive with native SAS
interface can benefit from:
Wide availability of SAS ports

SAS interfaces are now widely available on servers and systems.
Furthermore with server I/O bus technology moving from PCI-X to PCI-Express (PCI-e), customers may
find it difficult to obtain Parallel SCSI host bus adapters for the PCI-Express bus.

this new generation interface is supported by a robust multi-vendor roadmap
and already boasts a clear future out to 12GB/s.

Installing SAS tape drives
HP StorageWorks SAS tape drives are available as internal and external models. Both models are
supplied with a special split cable that allows you to connect to an internal port (if available) on the
embedded SAS controller inside the server. While connection via the split cable provides the most cost-
effective way of connecting the tape drive to an HP ProLiant server, this will require a clear understanding
of your server's current SAS configuration before installing.
For the most up-to-date information about recommended SAS HBAs and supported cabling
configurations with your make and model of server, always refer to

full installation guide is included with the product.
Native USB
Native USBNative USB
Native USB
The USB (Universal Systems Bus) interface was conceived out of a need to simplify computer peripheral
device connection. It has been so successful that the majority of computer systems and servers shipped
today offer multiple native USB 2.0 ports.
HP is the first company to develop a native USB DDS/DAT tape drive. Where other "USB tape drives" rely
on a USB converter, HP's USB interface is fully integrated with the drive and uses the SCSI command set
within the USB payload. The benefit of this implementation is that it gives the drive full SCSI functionality
and the flexibility of USB without the additional cost of a converter.
By offering native USB 2.0 DAT drives, HP aims to provide customers with a number of benefits:
Greater usability
Plug-and-play connectivity - the system automatically detects and configures the tape drive.
The DAT drive is installed and ready to backup in less than 60 seconds.
Microsoft fully supports USB devices natively in their operating systems providing robust, secure
