Understanding SCSI, ATA, SAS and SATA

For years the parallel interface has been widely used in storage systems. The need for increased bandwidth and flexibility in storage systems made the SCSI and ATA standards an inefficient option. A parallel interface is a channel capable of transferring date in parallel mode — that is transmitting multiple bits simultaneously. Almost all personal computers come with at least one parallel interface. Common parallel interfaces include SCSI and ATA. SCSI (sku4ze) Short for small computer system interface, a parallel interface standard used by Apple Macintosh computers, PCs and many UNIX systems for attaching peripheral devices to computers. Nearly all Apple Macintosh computers, excluding only the earliest Macs and the recent iMac, come with a SCSI port for attaching devices such as disk drives and printers. SCSI interfaces provide for data transmission rates (up to 80 megabytes per second). In addition, you can attach multiple devices to a single SCSI port, so that SCSI is really an I/O bus rather than simply an interface. ATA (Also known as IDE) is a disk drive implementation that integrates the controller on the disk drive itself. ATA is used to connect hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives and similar peripherals and supports 8/16-bit interface that transfer up to 8.3MB/s for ATA-2 and up to 100MB/s (ATA-6).

So, what do parallel interfaces have to do with SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA)? A lot, actually. It is the architectural limitations of the parallel interfaces that serial technologies like SAS and SATA address. In contrast to multiple parallel data stream, data is transmitted serially, that is in a single steam, by wrapping multiple bits into packets and it is able to move that single stream faster than parallel technology.

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

Abbreviated as SAS, Serial Attached SCSI, an evolution of parallel SCSI into a point-to-point serial peripheral interface in which controllers are linked directly to disk drives. SAS is a performance improvement over traditional SCSI because SAS enables multiple devices (up to 128) of different sizes and types to be connected simultaneously with thinner and longer cables; its full-duplex signal transmission supports 3.0Gb/s. In addition, SAS drives can be hot-plugged.

Serial ATA (SATA)

Often abbreviated as SATA, Serial ATA is an evolution of the Parallel ATA physical storage interface. Serial ATA is a serial link — a single cable with a minimum of four wires creates a point-to-point connection between devices. Transfer rates for Serial ATA begin at 150MB/s.

Starting with SATA, it extends the capabilities of ATA and offers transfer rates starting at 150MB/s and, after years of development, has moved to the mainstream of disk interfaces. The successor the SCSI interface is SAS at speeds of up to 3Gb/s. Additionally, it also addresses parallel interface issues such as drive addressability and limitations on the number of device per port connection.

SAS devices can communicate with both SATA and SCSI devices (the backplanes of SAS devices are identical to SATA devices). A key difference between SCSI and SAS devices is the addition in SAS devices of two data ports, each of which resides in a different SAS domain. This enables complete failover redundancy. If one path fails, there is still communication along a separate and independent path.

Cables & Connectors

Another big advantage of SATA over ATA is the cabling and connectors. The serial interface reduces the amount of wires needed to transmit data, making for much smaller cable size and making it easier to route and install SATA devices. The IDE cables used in parallel ATA systems are bulkier than Serial ATA cables and can only extend to 40cm long, while Serial ATA cables can extend up to one meter. In addition to the cabling, a new design of connectors is also used that reduces the amount of crosstalk between the wires, and the connector design also provides easier routing and better air flow.

Examples of SCSI and Serial ATA cables from StarTech.com

The Benefits of SAS & SATA in Storage

Serial interfaces offer an improvement over older parallel SCSI (with a serial version) in storage applications and environments. These benefits include better performance, better scalability, and also better reliability as the parallel interfaces are at their limits of speed with reliable data transfers. SAS and SATA drives can also operate in the same environment while SCSI and ATA cannot. For example, using faster SAS drives for primary storage and offloading older data to cheaper SATA disks in the same subsystem, something that could not be achieved with SCSI and ATA.

   Test your soil. Pour a few inches of the cabbage juice into a clean cup and add one to two spoonfuls of soil. Wait thirty minutes, and check the color of the solution.

   • Purple or violet is a pH near 7, neutral.
   • Pink means the soil is acidic with a pH between 1 and 7. The more acidic the soil is, the brighter the pink will be.
   • Blue or green is a pH between 8 and 14, alkaline. The brighter green the juice is, the more alkaline it is. ^[1]

Pune gets Rs 126 crore for metro

Pune gets Rs 126 crore for metro

PUNE: Union finance minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday made a provision of Rs126.58 crore in the 2015-16 Budget for the much-delayed Pune metro rail project, which has the city hopeful of getting a major share in the infrastructure funds of the Centre. The collective cost of the various infrastructure projects that need to be undertaken in Pune is pegged at Rs 25,806 crore over the next 20 years.

Jaitley made a provision of Rs 30.32 crore for Pune under the head of metro projects. The project got another Rs 70.38 crore and Rs 25.88 crore under the heads of investment in public enterprise and assistance for externally aided projects respectively.

Pune metro had got its first provision of Rs 10.01 crore in the 2013-14 budget. In February last year, the UPA government accorded in-principle approval for the elevated metro plan which includes two corridors - PCMC building to Swargate and Vanaz to Ramwadi - covering a total distance of 31.51 km. The PMC, in its 2015-16 draft budget, has proposed Rs 25 crore for the project.

City MP Anil Shirole said, "The Narendra Modi government's insistence on well-developed urban conglomerations will help Pune become one of the major modern cities in India." He also said that Pune city's inclusion in the government's 'Smart City' programme is certain.

Mayor Dattatreya Dhankawade said that now the government must clear technical hurdles of the project and start work on the ground. "We had pursued the matter with the central and the state government and hope that metro will not remain on paper," he said.

Citizens said all party leaders must now pitch for maximum funds to ensure a good quality of life in Pune.

According to the civic administration's calculations, around Rs 3,570.96 crore over a period of 10 years will be needed to meet Pune's infrastructure targets. The reservations for basic infrastructure and amenities have been worked out based on Pune's projected population by 2017.

Civic officials said that the PMC can hope for major help from the central government's kitty for urban infrastructure. "The PMC can implement its Development Plan only with the assistance from the Centre. The civic administration will request all elected representatives to take up the matter at the state and central level," said a senior civic official.

German company has started creating detailed, four-inch 3D replicas of your body for $95

The selfie craze has taken the next step, now a Germany based company has started creating 3D selfie replicas of your body.

Dusseldorf-based DOOB 3D can produce a detailed, four-inch replica or selfie of your body with its technology. To make the figurines the company needs 54 DSLRs, 54 lenses, a complex 3D modeling pipeline, and an  USD 80,000 full-colour 3D printer as well as a room-size scanning booth.

A customer just needs to step in, strike a pose, and the Doob-licator operator clicks all the cameras at once, to create a full-body scan in a fraction of a second. Then all the 18 MP images are fed into the company's proprietary software, which creates a 3D model of the subject. The printing speed is of 1.1 inches per hour and the process may take a few hours for the smallest-size DOOB and approximately half a day for the larger ones.

 

Currently, the company has four 3-D scanning booths in different locations throughout the world. One is in Dusseldorf, another at Santa Monica Place in Los Angeles, one in Tokyo and one in New York City's Chelsea Market. The company is planning to add more US locations soon, according to reports.

The company saw a huge response in New York where more than 500 customers created 3D selfie replicas over the winter holiday season, stated Michael Anderson, CEO of DOOB 3D USA. He added that about 10 percent of the booth's customers got their pets Doob-licated.

"At first, (people got DOOBs made) mostly on a whim," says Anderson of the holiday-season spike. Most people just walk up and stand in line, but you can also book an appointment in advance.

"Now that awareness has been built," Anderson says, "there has been a shift where at least two thirds of our customers have planned ahead to get a DOOB."
