Single Channel SAS?

[IamSpartacus]

I need a 2.5" to 3.5" enclosure for both SATA and SAS drives. Will this work? It mentions that it only supports single channel SAS functions. What limitations will it have?

SAS drives have 2 channels A (same as SATA) and B. if your dock does not have 2 inputs (one for A and one for B). then the enclosure is only a Side A enclosure (most are). SAS drives will fit. but you will not gain the speed benefit or redundancy of the B Path.

So it sounds like my SAS 2.0 drives should work fine then as they are just going into a hot swap SAS backplane.
