[Pc_Support] SATA to SAS?

[Bryan J. Smith]

Some SAS backplanes use individual 7-pin data connectors that are backward compatible with SATA.  But many use x4 or x8 connectors that require at least a converter cable, if they don't already push the SATA signaling spec.

Check the documentation on the SAS backplane to be sure.

Out of curiosity, are SATA and SAS backplanes compatible?  In other words,
can you change out your HBA from SATA to SAS without worrying about the
backplane?
