1U half-depth chassis
6 hot-swap 2.5" sata drive bays
Mini-ITX (Atom C2XXX) with 6xSATA
2x Intel Gig-E plus dedicated IPMI
Up to 64GB ECC RAM
And, while I'm asking, 2 power supplies.

Pretty please?

Only if you feel like paying obscene amounts of cash for limited compute capability and no expansion potential. Xeon-D would be a cheaper and more versatile choice.

Sounds tricky in a 1U.

I don't think something like this:

but expanded a little bit to include some hot-swap drive bays and an additional power supply is too out-of-order.

There's currently a pretty large jump in price to get to the 6-drive RAIDZ2 sweet spot.
