IBM has been selling SSA drives and adapters for some time for the RAID market.
Details can be found from the IBM Storage Systems Division OEM Storage
home page (http://www.almaden.ibm.com/storage/oem/menu1.htm).

Before you get excited about Fibre Channel, do a real-world comparison
of it to SSA.  And don't forget that Fibre Channel isn't (in general) fibre 
optic.  It was originally designed for fibre optic, but what is being implemented
is on copper wire.
