Are you looking specifically for something with the Pi’s bare-board form 
factor?  The Zotac C-series of barebones machines also support SATA and have no 
fans.  (At least in the spin-and-move-air sense.  They have lots of 
users-that-love-using-them fans.)

I’ve got one running Debian as as Asterisk server, and works well for that 
purpose.  At first I had a mechanical drive in it, a spare I had lying around.  
The spinning up and chittering was noticeable and annoying. Eventually, I 
swapped it out for an SSD.
