I am running 2 x 1TB SATA drives in my Snap Servers 2000 using a SATA adapter. It all worked perfectly. I did have to modify the HD mount frame as the drives with the SATA adaptors sticking out don't fit normally. I ended up putting in longer cables, running them under the frame and reversing the drives, ie the drives are normally mounted with the connector at the bottom, mine are now mounted with the connector at the top. The SATA adaptor sticks out over the RAM chips which works fine.
