Er...SATA was designed to be hot swappable from the start? There is no
such thing as a non-hot swappable SATA hd. If you meant you can have 4
sata hard disks that are inconvenient to hot swap, then that is fine.
You can however get four disk bay cages that facilitate hot swapping by
allowing you to just pull the disk out from the front while taking 3 5
1/4 bays in the case.

As far as my knowledge goes, you can have 4 non-hotswapable sata HD's and there
is an expansionoption for 2 more.

Runs every OI version out of the box.
Although it has a ventilator....
On the tech sheet it is one data port short and max internal storage is
4 x 2tb drives.
Most people on the list have tweaked theirs, either by flashing
another BIOS which allows generic uses for "ODD" SATA port, or
adding an LSI controller with internal and/or external ports
and IT firmware, often not using mobo ports at all. Some tweaks
replace the CD bay with a 4x2.5" or even a 6*2.5"(7.5mm) tray
and use the smaller disks for rpools and caches.
It also has ECC RAM which is a very good thing (esp. with ZFS),
though seems limited to its 8Gb.
I hope other list members who have actual practice with these
can elaborate more; I don't think HDD size is really limited
(especially if you use another HBA).
HTH,
