^ Still, any random $80 computer can do this so long as it doesn't come in an OEM case with limited drive bays, or just connect a USB3 external HDD, then you can unplug it and have the higher security of it being offline, and unpowered.
Plus, if it's an always on 24/7 computer, it can also run other services for you. It might consume 15W more power (if not underclocked) but it would take a long time to recoup the cost difference if ever.
