Minnowboard Max? 2 atom cores, 1 SATA port, and a real (non-USB) Ethernet port.

Rather expensive option:
Applied Micro X-Gene, overkill for a single disk, and only really available in a
development kit format right now.

Better Option:
Ambedded CY7 - 7 nodes in 1U half Depth, 6 positions for SATA disks, and one
node with mSATA SSD
