That could certainly be an issue in our case (it's all SATA, which I guess at least is better than having it mixed). Although Supermicro do list some SATA drives as being tested compatible with their chassis/expander, for example WD RE - not that we actually have RE drives, it's what I would have preferred but we ended up with Reds. I will say that I consulted informally with a WD field engineer who felt that the Reds should work ok in this situation, and they have generally tested quite well. No doubt the SATA RE model may well have more solid firmware.
