While SATA and SAS are *supposed* to be able to be mixed freely, my vendor has warned me that it doesn't always work out that well. They have seen compatibility issues using SATA drives on SAS controllers. So for applications where you want/need a SAS controller but still need big capacity, these are the drives they recommend.
What I've seen in multiple vendors configuration guidelines is that a given SAS controller and SAS/SATA chassis will support SATA *or* SAS, but not both at once on the same SAS multiplexor.
