Hi folks,

So the expansion unit for the 2500 series is the 2501.
The back-end drive channels are SAS.

Currently it is not supported to connect a 2501 directly to a SAS HBA.

SATA drives are in the pipe, but will not be released until the RAID firmware 
for the 2500 series officially supports the SATA drives. The current firmware 
does not lock out those drives and prematurely releasing the drives would 
result in lots of service calls for unsupported configurations.

The 750GB and 1TB drives are on the map behind the initial release of SATA 
support.

The 2500 series engineering team is talking with the ZFS folks to understand 
the various aspects of delivering a complete solution. (There is a lot more to 
it than it seems to work...).

-Joel
