Does anyone happen to know (or have) a Dell/HP/IBM/Lenovo branded 1L Mini PC with 2x eSATA Ports ?
I have seen older 3/4th Gen Core I machines with a single eSATA port, but never 2.
Does a Mini PC exist that has 2x eSATA Ports ?
I have an 8bay eSATA Box that I would like to use for offline cold storage and would like a small controller for it.

If you have a Model or Part#, I would appreciate it. The machine can be a dog, as this will be it's only task when ON.
2 Alternatives:
- a mini that can take a small PCIe X1 card upgrade (the card that came with the storage box, dual eSATA PCIe X1)
- a mini that has enough room inside/backside to mod in one of these:
