FWIW, this is SATA.  I hit up -scsi since I (think) that's where whoever 
deals with mpt(4) lives.  The controller does present the array as a scsi 
device, but thankfully (oh so very thankfully), there's no scsi cabling 
involved.  Say what you will about SATA and SAS, but I'm really happy to 
not have to deal with terminators, jumpers and all that other drek 
anymore.

Thanks,
