If you have a spare pci-slot.
Use a sata controller card.
That I do. And I finally got the search criteria 'right' on ebay:

Far better would almost certainly be to just get a proper SATA controller.
SATA starts at 150 not 133 so you've already lost performance before you
worry about the overhead and correctness of any convertor.
The PCI approach does seem best. They end up being about the same price
as the converter plus power cables.
