I guess I'm saying, if you interpret the name "Serial Attached Scsi"

drive is, more so than its mechanical construction.
SAS and SATA use the same physical interface, the drive mentioned
is most definitely SATA. Largest SAS drive I have heard of
myself is 400GB, same as the max size for FC drives.
There are also SATA drives with FC-interfaces....
"FATA"
Used in SANs, mainly.
Take a look at Promise's VtrakJ610-series for cheap 16-bay JBOD array
with SAS-connection to the server.
Apple re-badges them...
