The first post is what I’m loosely planning:
Prices have gone up a lot since I first priced this, around $1000 increase once you start adding drives.
There was another I was looking at the used u.2 drives and another that used m.2 in smaller sleds. But the above gives you an idea. I requested $4500 each (need two), that’s going to be a problem if they actually give me money for this. Not sure I need flash, but I need a pair of something new for my VMs, only need around 4TB so not a big deal to get this with 6 drives, then expand later if I need more. Not even sure all flash will really get me anything, but seems like it should.
