BenQ has an SATA version of their DW1620 in the works. I don't know about other manufacturers though.
OEM NEC's can sometimes have different firmware types, like Mad Dog, and HP, and Lacie all have different firmware versions from the retail NEC. Mad Dog generally seems to get the best firmware support I think, however the latest firmware release for the retail version of the NEC 3500a looks to be the most advanced version to date.
