The general plan is sound. Having the basic OS on a storage which works "out of the box" is always a good idea, when engaging into experiments with new/unknown storage type. I haven't heard from SAS for a long time. The last time, I encountered it 5 years ago it wasn't clear what kind of driver will become the "mainline" accepted by the kernel hackers. Basically, when building a (software) raid with Linux, you use some raw devices exposed by the kernel and create a new synthetic (raid) device, which appears to the rest of the system as just another device exposed by the kernel. Thus, as long as you get any kind of (storage) drive somehow accepted by the Linux kernel and accessible as (block, i.e. storage) device, you can use it as part of a raid array (especially, you can mix various kinds of drives and have a lot of flexibility).
