Does this drive (controller?) exist?

I'm thinking of a PCIe card that has a spot for one or two SSDs on it. Power and data both go through the PCIe bus. Any old SSD or laptop drive can "snap in" to place on it. I could have sworn I saw it on the internet somewhere. Can't for the life of me recall where.
 
Found this online. Something like this, but with only a single HDD spot would be wonderful:

The first adapter linked here does not appear to pass data over PCI-e (there is no controller on-board)

The second appears to include a SATA controller but requires a supplemental 'floppy' type power connector for supplying power to the drives
 
OOPs. Sorry. There was a single one from I think the same company that had a sata controller on it. Although like all inexpensive SATA III ports none of these are speed burners when it comes to SSDs. Most of the time you would be better served with an Intel SATA II port instead of a cheap SATA III port. If this is a laptop harddrive install it will not matter though since the drive would not be fast enough to bottleneck the interface.
