Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives have rapidly found favor in many enterprise storage solutions, primarily due to their remarkably low cost-per-gigabyte and solid performance. While fundamentally rooted in the desktop, these budget-priced drives have become popular additions in datacenters. Augmenting mission-critical parallel SCSI and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives in dense storage applications, desktop-class SATA drives deliver maximum capacity in external storage or low-cost server environments. In an effort to contain storage expenses and work within ever-tighter budgets, IT professionals began specifying these low-cost hard drives in a multitude of enterprise environments. In some cases, they deployed desktop-class SATA drives in more demanding business-critical applications for which they were not designed; as a result, some drives experienced unusually high failure rates.
