I have a disk array that uses 2 5-1esata port multipliers.

I was looking at Lsi's SAS3801E:

My question is this, if I got this host bus adapter, with a SAS to esata fan out cable like this one:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Highpoint Technologies/MS1MES/
and hooked it up to my port multipliers. Would everything just work? Do these SAS cards support the SATA port multiplier spec? Is this something that would depend on driver support?
Thanks.
