I like the looks of the performance with the new PCIe M.2 storage.  I also need a solution for eSATA that supports 8 drives (port multiplier).  So, I am on a mission to find the smallest PC where these two goals will be possible.  16 - 32 GB of RAM is desired also.  What are your thoughts?  I have found the SHUTTLE SH170R6.  I don't yet know if its eSATA supports port multiplier, but even if it doesn't, it seems to have a slot where I could add a card.  Are there any smaller or better solutions?  Thanks much in advance for all advice!
