[ale] SATA, iSCSI, and ESX

Forgive me if this is an absolutely stupid question... but is it possible to
get decent performance out of an iSCSI SAN full of SATA disks backing an ESX
server?  Has SATA advanced enough that it could be a reasonable (if somewhat
lesser-performing) alternative to SAS or SCSI disks in an iSCSI SAN?  The
VMs are dev only, but the SAN would have a built-in NAS feature hosting
users' home folders.  Am I trying to do too much with too little?
Thanks,
-Ash
