I did it once before when upgraded the CPUs, and yeah, I still have PTSD from the process. However if you have no PCIe cards you can just see the ports. I don't think it would be too hard (if you're dexterous) to plug the cables by touch. In a few weeks I'll let you know how hard it was. (assuming I get everything together.)
I guess the one question that I'd still like to hear back on is nothing to do with the eSATA/USB3/enclosure questions, but simply will the Solaris managed ZFS drives be recognized and mounted without any problemson OSX? Both because of the jump from Solaris to OSX, and also because of the likelihood that solaris has an older ZFS?
