Is there a particular reason why SAS rings of more than 2 stations are not
allowed by SMT?  Is this just a ploy to sell more hardware?  Seems to me
there are good system configurations that could warrant SAS rings (like a
bunch of equipment all in one rack/room that doesn't need the complication
of DAS or concentrators).

Comments?
