Since the TQ backplane has separate inputs for each drive would it be possible to mix 8 sata drives off of one HBA and 8 sas drives off of another HBA (Dell Perc H310's in this case) ? Does the backplane know the difference in that scenario or does it just supply power and so doesn't care?

That should work fine. I don't think the H310 has a SGPIO port, so there's nothing to hook the backplane fault / locate lights to anyway.
