Abstract
A method and system are provided for transmitting SATA (serial advanced technology attachment) information. In an implementation, SATA commands are passed to an expander, rather than SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) commands. In an example implementation, SATA protocol elements are encapsulated into SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)-like frames and transmitted using the SSP (Serial SCSI protocol) and using SSP hardware.
