SATA disk can go into SAS interface, but not the other way around.
Apparently SAS has the entire SATA command set, but then is extended with SCSI commands. Hence the compatibility in one direction only.

I'm looking to add SSDs into one of my HP G8 Servers. I've always just replaced the spinning disks with the same model when I've had drive failures. Can you just put a regular SATA SSD into a G8 server, or are there special SAS SSD's that you need to use? What SSD's are better for server applications, I.E. database work with lots of I/O.
