It does, thank you. When I looked at the specs on the link you sent it seemed to have HDD and RAM included, but that would be waaaay too cheap for what's listed on it (HERE). It just seems like it may incorrect?
The part in your edit doesn't sound familiar at all.
While you did say you don't feel like building one, but have you seen/heard of the Intel NUC? if not i'd look into it. They're great little PC's and while there is some assembly required it's definitely nowhere near as much work as a build from scratch. The NUC comes with most things pre-installed the only components you have to install are the RAM, HDD and/or SSD (m.2) and screw the lid on.
To answer your main question neither the one you have listed nor any off-the-shelf systems have extra drive mounting spots in most cases.
I did go ahead and price a NUC setup for you. You can get a NUC8i3BEH which has a comparable cpu to the one in the dell you linked,
a Samsung 970 EVO 250 GB NVMe m.2 drive, 1 TB 2.5" HDD, 8 GB of DDR4 memory, and a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo for $488.35 and while yes there is a little work involved, and you'd have to install a copy of Win 10 on it, It'd be a better setup than what that dell would be. Plus it takes up a lot less space.
I've built like 10 of these for my company and they're fantastic.
Much better value than the Mac Mini:

Pop in 1x8GB RAM with room for 8GB more possibly later and a Samsung 860 or 970 EVO depending on how fast you want it to be and your budget. The 7th Gen i3 is also fine. MacOS is not worth the premium. Linux Mint is excellent.
