Well, yes, but that is nothing special. The replacement for SCSI is
actually going to be SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) which is a superset of
SATA and supports some additional features.

As of now, SAS deserves to be completely ignored,
considering what little benefit they offer in almost all cases
and what manufacturers are charging for SAS hardware.
Controllers run $600-up and drives are similarly overpriced.
