   That's true of course...Part of the reason for my piping up on  
this subject is that this is a very gray area.  One can't plug an SAS  
drive into a UW-SCSI controller, but one can't plug an HVD drive into  
a UW-SCSI controller either.

   Well, at least not without filling the machine room with smoke. ;)
