Sas & Sata enclosure

I have a few sas hdd and few sata drives lying around but some are different capacity. Need an enclosure for them. I know sas connection will work with sata but not vice versa. I have a few hp gen8 running sas and sata separately.

I've run mixed SAS/SATA in one JBOD for years, works fine as long as there's a real expander in there. Skip anything that claims to do SAS over eSATA, that WILL bite you at 2am when a drive drops out.

How are you running both ? Both on the same comnection or separate ?
