Sun did make a couple external drive boxes, such as

Yeah. And those really DO suck down the power. Even by my standards.
As far as UNIX systems go, the only one I really own
is a Sunfire V480
(Quad 1.2 GHz Ultrasparc IIIcu, 16 gigs ram, dual 37 gig hard drives), too
new to be called "classic", although as far as modern systems go it's
completely worthless as no one supports SPARC III processors, except the
Linux community and Solaris 10.
Good heavens. Why would THAT make it completely worthless?
