Also consider eSATA since that can be supported by OpenIndiana and is

The electrical and protocol specification for esata is the same as sata.
E-SATA cables I think need to be shielded. The only difference is the
amount of line current the controller has to put on the circuit to work
on a longer distance. This is a long way of saying you could in theory
make an internal SATA jack an external jack with high quality shielded
cables, and a little luck.

Be advised, cables may be one area in life where you get what you pay
for. I am not sure monoprice is the right choice but you get the idea.
