Update on this... thanks to Andrew Laurence for pointing me toward
looking up the model numbers of the drives via "diskutil info disk0".
Once I'd done that, we were able to determine that they were indeed 80
GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 drives, and not SAS drives.
In short, Apple System Profiler on the Intel-based Xserve is lying
through its teeth when it claims these are SAS drives. So that's good
- it means I got what I ordered and what I paid for, and the fact that
Apple seems to be using stock Seagate drives makes me more confident
about replacing the questionable drive with a large SATA drive.
Maybe not one of the Seagate drives with the firmware bug though. :-)
cheers... -Adam
