Is the backplane SATA only or are SAS drives supported?

FYI - I did the cable swaps to get 8 SAS drives in my HL15 Full Build. I documented on this forum including my changes the alias file.

HL15 Full Build SAS/SATA Swap on Backplane

FYI for anyone looking swap the to 8 SAS and 7 SATA connections on the backplane of full build HL15’s and still have “45Drives Disks” work in Cockpit/Houston. Default setup is SATA only for slots 1-1 to 1-8 and SAS/SATA slots 1-9 to 1-15. Cables coming from the motherboard to the backplane are labeled A,B,C,D going right to left.
