They actually did something intelligent and made the
interconnect
common between SAS and SATA.
I'm not sure I'd call that intelligent.
If the compatability goes far enough that either kind of device works
with either kind of interface, then I agree, but then there's really no
difference between them - they're just two names for the same thing.
If the compatability doesn't go that far, then we now have a way you
can plug something in that looks perfectly compatible but which does
not actually work when connected. I have trouble seeing how this is
good for anyone, this time including hardware makers.
