Also, to reply to someone else's email... there is one big reason to use a SAN over direct storage: you can do HA that results in 0 data loss. Good SANs are engineered to be highly redundant, with multiple controllers, PSUs, etc, so that the odds of losing the SAN itself are very, very low. The same isn't true with DAS.
You can get DAS arrays with multiple controllers, PSUs, etc. DAS != single disk.
