Xgig 6G SAS/SATA Analyzer

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.

6G SAS-SATA Blade

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
