I'm not sure about will it work or not, but looking at solaris 10 HCL [1], it does list support SunBlade 2000 , and then looking at "Disk controller" supported devices, it could probably boot from supported pci disk controller device. So, quickly looking through "disk controller" pci device list [2] , shows for example Adaptec ASH-1233 [3] which works with linux [4] and around $15 at ebay. As well there's a bunch of pata(ide) ssds at ebay. This is just my suggestion, as I said, i'm not sure will it actually work (be able to boot) or not, but doing such a test , budget will be less $100 ($15 for controller and some $30-$50 for pata ssd). 1. http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/data/sol/index.html 2. http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/data/sol/components/views/disk_controller_all_results.page1.html 3. http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/data/components/details/adaptec/sol_10_03_05/999.html 4. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-August/msg03275.html
