"attached to SATA->SCSI converters, in turn attached to SCSI->SATA converters,"
Why would anyone do that? OK, so you had sata drives but needed to plug them into a SCSI thing, fine. But then, when the time comes to retire said SCSI thing, why on earth get a second set of adapters instead of just plugging them directly into SATA? Especially since each such set of adapters is another point of failure waiting to happen?
