I'm looking into buying a refurb HP ProLiant server off ebay and I notice a lot of them include HP Smart Array E200/128 Controller, which according to pics has 2 ports for SAS. I think that the mobo for the server I'm looking at has 2 SAS ports as well. But the case supports 6 LFF 3.5" drives or 8 2.5" drives. If I want to populate it with SATA drives is there some kind of special way I need to do this?

This is what I'm looking at buying:

That case will directly accept either SATA or SAS drives in its hotplug units.
