The AoE protocol targets (vblade et al) turn AoE ATA read/write requests into system read/write calls. Ultimately yes, these get translated into read/write calls for whatever technology is used to access the backing storage (SAS/ATA/SCSI/etc) but there is no explicit translation mechanism in vblade.
