There are two types of ports: A narrow port communicates over a narrow link and contains only one transmit/receive pair, and a wide port communicates over a wide link and contains more than one transmit/receive pair. The ports reside in the PHY layer, and the link resides in the physical layer.
Note - Direct connection to SAS or SATA drives is not supported.
