I think SAS is an overkill; I'd only ever use SCSI or SAS if you have performance problems with writes. If you have to get SAS anyways, I'd get LSI logic based controllers. Adaptec's support and drivers are buggy and their CLI is very generic and doesn't offer alot of 'tuning'. Personally, 3ware/LSI cards and a few others (Some intels) are way better than adaptec
