The design of this NUC model is all about driving the overall cost down. Having both SATA and mSATA support would raise the price. That's also the reason you get only one HDMI port and no DisplayPort. This design is the low-cost, entry level, HTPC and/or workstation model.
That being said, my ideal usage model for an HTPC is a NUC with both mSATA and internal SATA support. That way I can run my OS on the mSATA and have a large, cheap platter SATA drive for media and recorded TV storage. For that you'll want the i3 board in the tall case (releasing very soon). It gives you the best of both worlds.

Jason, how many mSata ports will the i3 model have? what will the MSRP be? can the Sata 3 port support a port replicator?
