Industry has moved again.  Better get used to it.

Nearline SAS is a replacement for SATA.  It's a lower cost drive than SAS,
with higher reliability than SATA.  I have begun seeing vendors that sell
only SAS and NearLine SAS.  (Some dell servers.)

SATA is not dead.  But this will certainly change things up a bit.
