I think their SATA shelves use FC to talk back to the head unit anyway.
I'll know more soon within the next 2 weeks when our 3050 cluster system
is delivered and we migrate off three other filers.

We had a great presentation/discussion from the NetApp tech guyes last

total I/O possible, etc, between SATA and FC.
