I recently discovered that the SCSI protocol was, in fact, an improvement on the SASI protocol, which apparently predates SCSI by only a couple of years, appearing in 1978 (but only publicly in 1981). It was only shortly after, in 1982, that the SCSI protocol appeared.
That makes me wonder whether SASI was commercially successful.
What was the popularity, if any, of the SASI protocol?

Some parts of SASI were used in the Atari ST family’s ACSI system, in particular for hard drives connected to that interface — see Application Notes on the Atari Computer System Interface for details. Whether that counts as “popular” depends on your interpretation and the markets you’re interested in.
SASI controllers and hard drives were used in minis too, and at least available for many early micros, and SCSI-1 was designed to be backwards-compatible with it and many SASI controllers were compatible with SCSI-1.

Though hard drives on the Apple II weren't very common, it wasn't until 1985 that "The Sider" appeared and was considerably less expensive than its predecessors and as a result became rather popular in the Apple II community.
That being said, The Sider was based on the Xebec controller which was SASI before the Sider appeared, so production numbers would certainly exceed the Apple numbers.
I'm not aware of other commercial implementations of SASI, but from the Xebec sales alone it would qualify as somewhat successful if anything.
