Not to mention that everything is moving toward SAS anyways. The SAS 
logic in my personal experience is better for the SATA logic for even 
basic operation.  Using SATA drives in an array produced more dropouts 
than the SAS counterparts (X to 0 ratio, same load tests) where the 
exact same drive mechanism were involved basically.  I for one will be 
glad to see SATA die out in favor of SAS (hello dual-port!).  That isn't 
to say of course that I'm not running my home array on SATA Green type 
drives generally without issue.  ;-)
