Optimizing Storage with SAS: Beyond the 10K Compromise (72K, PDF) - Page 4
Conclusion
Serial Attached SCSI will play a key role as the enterprise continues to move towards more optimized, cost-effective storage platforms. A single SAS-based subsystem equipped with 15K SAS drives and nearline-ready SATA drives is capable of handling the full gamut of enterprise storage duties, from online (transactional, high availability) to nearline (archival, low availability) ...

Drive supplies power to SCSI bus I/O cable. When drives have differential I/O circuits, a
jumper on the TP position may be needed to power external terminators (see system docu-
mentation). These drives do not have terminator circuits on the drive.
