SAS is used as an acronym here (Serial Attached SCSI); the letters do not correspond to English morphemes and do not transparently indicate the technical meaning.
Etymology
The word SAS stands for Serial Attached SCSI, where serial means 'one after another' and attached means 'connected', so the name describes a fast, direct connection that links storage devices to move data quickly.
