User Question:How can a SATA drive hook up to a SAN?

Chris Poelker's answer:
Storage array manufacturers are building arrays that can house either SCSI drives, Fibre Channel drives, ATA drives or SATA drives within the array. The controllers front ending the connection between the drives and the SAN fabric bridge the protocols to allow connectivity.
