| Hi,
Can I access SATA disks via iSCSI? The intutive answer seems no, since
iSCSI is using scsi pdus.
But then again I see vendors selling enclosures full with SATA drives
but accessible via iscsi. So is there a conversion of scsi to sata in
the controller.
Thanks for any help

Depends on vendor.
For instance, on-mobo RAID chips are exposed to Windows as... SCSI controllers.
Yes, the driver converts the SCSI CDBs to the hardware commands and submit them
to the chip.
More so. In NT4, the usual PC IDE controller was represented as SCSI to the OS.
