Do they exist?
I've been searching around and all I can seem to find are NAS enclosures that support IDE. Would a SATA to IDE converter work as a last resort?

There are starting to exist products with a SATA interface. What kind of configuration are you thinking of, one disk or more?

Ideally, a single disk. Do you have any recommendations or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Yep, but my CN-550 is PARALLEL ATA only. On the other hand, I've never had a problem with the interface, the setup stuff or any of it. I set up users and gave them passwords and it's worked fine for almost a year so far. I have even updated the firmware and it works fine. As far as I can tell the only difference between the 550 and 570 is the SATA interface, so the reviews don't mesh with my personal experience. And I don't know what the two reviewers' expectations were, but these products are very much consumer level.

I have to say my Linkstation works well. The only gripe I have is that AFP is such an old version that it has problems with filenames. So basically I use Samba, which works perfectly. It's also surprisingly silent, though some people say that if you let alot of dust gather into the device the fan might get louder (I have a bottle of pressurized air to make sure that does not happen).
I also think the price is not very bad, especially if you compare it to getting an external box and using your own disk.
Best of all, the linkstations run Linux, and there is already a growing community hacking them. The advantages of this are (for me anyway), that once my warranty runs out I can just flash a modified firmware into the device, and gain a lot of new features. For example I can install a newer version of AFP, run a webserver or anything else I could think of.
