I have a Sun Blade 2500 (running Solaris 10 1/13 - sorry, have to be in sync
with my work machines) and it has a little cage for 2 SATA drives that have
the disk sleds attached.  (Perfect for running a tidy little ZFS mirror setup.)

If there was some way to jerry-rig an SSD onto a disk sled with an adapter that
presented a SATA 80-pin interface at the other end, it might be possible ...
something like the "Multi-Mount" adapters that OWC sells for their SSDs to fit
into a Mac Pro:

Short of that, however, not sure how you would do it ...
