I found the solution within halevt. I add the following lines to
/etc/halevt/halevt.xml (the default location on ubuntu 10.04):
<halevt:Device match="hal.block.device & hal.volume.uuid =
D8C6300BC62FE908 ">
<halevt:Insertion exec="sudo halevt-mount -u $hal.udi$ -o ro -m 222"/>
</halevt:Device>
<halevt:Device match="hal.block.device & hal.volume.uuid =
D8C6300BC62FE908 ">
<halevt:OnInit exec="sudo halevt-mount -u $hal.udi$ -o ro -m 222"/>
</halevt:Device>
Now the SATA harddrive will be mounted read-only automatically when
it's inserted. Of course
you need to modify /etc/sudoers to let halevt-mount sudo without password:
halevt ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/halevt-mount
