Client access is via iSCSI (over IP over gigabit Ethernet) exclusively. This isn't a big deal, everything speaks iSCSI... but you need an actual "server" (ahem) interposed if you want SMB or NFS.
Ya, but my point was does the SCSI-over-ethernet talk to a logical (fake) view of the storage or does it talk SCSI directly from your server, through the net/SAN, into the drives? Forgive my severe ignorance, I've never had the chance to play with one of these.
The answer to that I guess will answer whether or not you can chuck SATA drives into the thing.
They still make SAS SSDs, no? So I guess you could always do that, if this thing will support them. But then you have big $$$$$
