Altera_ForumAs far as I know, Stratix II GX transceivers are missing some functions required for SATA/SAS, particularly the out-of-band signalling feature. Newer chips, e.g. Arria II are supporting SATA explicitely.

Arria II and Stratix IV are certainly supporting SATA.

Stratix II GX Transceivers support PCI Express (PIPE) which has out-of-band signaling. Would it be possible to utilize it for sata?
