Yes. > If you look at drives in the same category, the difference between a > SATA and a The problem is that these drives (SAS / SATA) are generally not in the same category so your comparison does not make sense. There is very little overlap between the "exotic sports car" class and the "family mini van" class. In some very few cases we see some transition vehicles such as station wagons in a sport form factor. Most drive vendors try to make sure that the drives are in truely distinct classes in order to preserve the profit margins on the more expensive drives. In some cases we see SAS interfaces fitted to drives which are fundamentally SATA-class drives but such products are rare.
