I recently read a piece from Dave Altavilla relating insights of SATA enterprise.
I’d like to get the real scoop on exactly what status reporting and error handling capabilities exist in SAS that do not exist in SATA. the list if you please.

Also I’m very interested in the improved reliabilty of the Seagate Baracuda ES2 SAS vs ES2 SATA. exactly why is one more reliabile than the other?
