Hi Alex, that card should work ok with the ahci driver http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6645543 6645543 relax AHCI checks violated by JMicron JMB363 controller As for enclosures, I've had good experiences with some Enhance Proavio gear that I got from Silicon Memory in Sydney. http://www.siliconmemory.com.au/content/enhance/e4-ml.html They do cables too.
