FWIW The Giada Cube N3 seems to run Solaris 10 & OI fine. Requires the gani 3rd party driver. I got one from Newegg to use as my Internet access node. I measured ~25 watts w/ a single disk & 2 GB. You'd need to do a bit of hacking to fit 2 disks though. There are two SATA ports and the top cover is a flat perforated plate, so a pretty easy hack. Not as low power as an ARM, but available today. The factory setup holds a single 9.5 mm x 2.5" disk.
