The Xgig SAS/SATA analyzer is a critically-important tool for engineers developing and troubleshooting products and systems that involve the SAS/SATA protocols.

　　Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) are evolutionary replacement technologies for the Parallel SCSI and ATA/IDE physical storage interfaces. SAS and SATA storage protocols offer easy configuration and pathways to faster throughput. The line rates are 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 Gb/s. The Xgig®SAS/SATA analyzer is a critically-important tool for engineers developing and troubleshooting products and systems that involve the SAS/SATA protocols. It has advanced features such as cross triggering (internal and external) and expert analysis, which make it an ideal platform for solving challenges with high-speed serial buses.

　　Industry's Most Advanced Capabilities

　　Provides complete visibility into network behaviors with 100% capture at full line rate

　　Captures multiple traces with the industry's largest trace memory buffers, up to 16 GB per blade

　　Analyzes live traffic of nearly 200 different storage protocols, all from a single platform

　　Eases troubleshooting with the industry's most powerful trace and advanced monitoring capabilities

　　Hardware-based capture provides unparalleled timestamp resolution up to 5 ns

　　Minimizes analyzer's effect on signal integrity with flexible connection methods to simplify test setup and guarantee accuracy

　　In addition to Xgig's standard capabilities, the 6.0 Gb/s SAS/SATA Analyzer:

　　Provides protocol-aware analysis at 1.5, 3.0, and 6 Gb/s for both SAS and SATA

　　Supports all new SAS-2 primitives and zoning commands

　　Accurately analyzes SAS-2 multiplexed traces

　　Speeds identification of impairments relating to Out-of-Band (OOB) signaling

　　Non-intrusively monitors at full line rate for both SAS and SATA

　　Increases signal integrity and reduces user error through simplified cabling

　　Yields significant cost savings and simplified set up through flexible multi-user, multi-link capabilities
