Not sure what kind of server you are referring to but our servers can
take SAS and SATA at the same time. We build plenty of servers running
FreeBSD which in some cases have SATA SSD for boot drives (in a RAID-1)
and then X amount of either SATA or SAS or both in a different RAID
configuration

Simple answer is to use either. You're running FreeBSD with ZFS, right? BSD
will hot plug anything. I suspect 'hot plug' relates to Microsoft workaround
hardware RAID.
Hot plug enclosures will also let the host know a drive has been pulled.
Otherwise ZFS won't know whether it was pulled or is u

Asking specifically about the protocol differences... It would seem, for
example, SATA can not b
