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.

Sounds like you need a better vendor for a solution that will work.

Wait, what? They steer me away from squirrely configs and find me one that works within my budget, and you're criticizing them? I'm rather confused.

Don't try to explain, though. I don't think I'll get it.
