I guess I'm saying, if you interpret the name "Serial Attached Scsi" literally, then the Seagate ES.2 is not an SAS drive - it is not a scsi drive with a serial interface. However, if you interpret SAS as an interface standard, then the interface board determines what the drive is, more so than its mechanical construction.
SAS and SATA use the same physical interface, the drive mentioned is most definitely SATA. Largest SAS drive I have heard of myself is 400GB, same as the max size for FC drives.
