The performance benefits of SAS far outweigh the price difference at low capacities

There is a point of diminishing returns for the performance of SAS at high capacities

SATA tends to be a better solution for desktops and SAS for servers

Consider a dedicated storage infrastructure for high capacity needs

SAS based hard drives are best choice for performance consideration while SATA drives are for storage capacity consideration.

SAS-based hard drives are faster and more reliable than SATA-based hard drives, but SATA drives have a much larger storage capacity. Speedy, reliable SAS drives are typically used for servers while SATA drives are cheaper and used for personal computing.
