[geeks] SATA vs SAS?

[Mouse]

I'm wondering just how compatible SATA and SAS are.

I have a machine (a SunFire X4100) which takes SAS drives.  But I have
few SAS drives and plenty of SATA drives.  The SATA drives fit
mechanically, and I have a fuzzy memory of hearing that they're
compatible enough to use.  Anyone know whether the X4100 will work with
SATA drives?  I'd rather not "just try it", as I don't want to risk
frying the X4100's disk interface.

Anyone happen to know?
