My server has 8 "hot-plug" slots, that can accept both SATA and SAS drives. S=
ATA ones tend to be cheaper for the same features (like cache-sizes), what a=
m I getting for the extra money spent on SAS?

Asking specifically about the protocol differences... It would seem, for exa=
mple, SATA can not be as easily hot-plugged, but with camcontrol(8) that sho=
uld not be a problem, right? What else? Thank you!
