Atleast old sun fire servers are using cheap ata controllers ...

My own solution is based on supermicro server with areca raid controller.

case: ATX Supermicro SC836TQ-R800V (16xSAS) with areca 16 port sata  
raid controller.(Areca ARC-1261ML)

You can easily buy cheap sata disks from 1 to 2TB * 16
