The astute will notice that I'm using SCSI VPD Inquiries to identify the devices. This, unfortunately, won't work for SATA devices unless we do some really nasty hacking about on the SAT because the only think that knows the SAS addresses for SATA devices is libsas, not libata where the SAT resides.
