You haven't been paying much attention to SAS recently, then. They actually
did something intelligent and made the interconnect common between SAS and SATA.
The file servers I spec'ed for the CHM digital repository are all SAS backplanes
with SATA drives in them. If you dig around for the few pictures of the current
Internet Archive servers, this is exactly what they did as well.
