Check the archives. This was discussed (at length) a few months back.
In short some ATA controllers work, lots of firewire stuff does (because
one of their head developers is also a Debian/SPARC developer) but no
one has really tried SATA. Or something like that. Depending on how
much you're looking to spend - might some of the ATA/SCSI converters be
worth a look?
