Brief specifications:
SATA interface

SATA is so "yesterday". It represents "in the box" thinking. Sun
engineering should still be capable of thinking "outside the box".
Considerable optimizations/improvements are possible by erradicating
legacy interfaces and employing the same sort of "outside the box"
thinking that produced zfs. It is time to short-circuit that legacy
storage stack.
Nice sentiment, but not a lot of use if they want people to use the
module!
ZFS while definitely the result of "outside the box" thinking it can be
used on all exiting hardware. How far would it have progressed if it
had required specialised hardware?
