You mean something like this?

I've tried repeatedly but between the language difference, the time
difference, and the (apparent, I'm just guessing, here) unwillingness of
the maker to deal with anyone who isn't placing an order for thousands
of them I haven't been able to get my hands on one.  I think that if
there were a properly certified, SATA version of this thing on the
market for $50, they could sell boatloads; is my perspective entirely
askew?
