"If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that everybody loves SATA. The drives are almost as cheap as parallel ATA, they're faster (due mostly to Native Command Queuing and somewhat to the 3Gb/s link speed), and they have really cool, skinny, point-to-point cables.
And, drum roll please, every single SAS controller, expander, and drive backplane shipping today supports SATA!
So why put a more expensive SAS infrastructure in place just to attach SATA drives?"

So, in other words, we should look at going SAS because we love SATA. Interesting. Very interesting
