Okay... Pretty sure the cheap one for sale at dabs and ebuyer specifly only 1 sata port. If i am wrong then I will consider the HP again.

It might only have 1 SATA port but it has 4 hot swap bays in the front. You mount the disks in a plastic caddy.

Daniel's right inasmuch as Ebuyer only list the single bay N54L, G2020T and G1610T - at least Ebuyer's descriptions say they only have one bay[1].  They don't stock the N36L or, it seems, any of the multi-bay servers.  However I think the mistake was in assuming all Microservers are the same, evidently not from the description of the N36L.
