Hey all,
How interchangeable are SAS and SATA drives/controllers? Do you have to have a special controller card that is designed to be backwards compatible or is SAS natively compatible with SATA controllers?
I.E. Would a modern chipset (ICH9 or so) support a SAS drive plugged into the onboard?
My thought is if they're compatible, could someone theroretically swap out a laptop size SATA drive with a 15k SAS drive and still have it work?
Just something running through my head.
Please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
