As for a RAID, I'm not thinking a few disks, but allowing for a batch of 24 in a 12x2 RAID0-Mirror (aka RAID10). No way Greg's gonna see slots on an X99 board for 24 of those -- even 4T each would be insanely expensive, let alone a compliment of 10TB drives out of SSD (even if they were available)....
Here's an 8 slot MB: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/59124/colorfuls-new-mining-motherboard-8-pcie... And here's a 4-port ssd adapter. https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Ultra-Speed-Drive-Quad-Adapter/dp/B0714MMD6M Fill up that MB with those adapters and you have 32 NVMe ports. 2 TB SSDs at a minimum exist. That's 64 TB of high speed non-volatile / stable storage hooked up to a single chassis. As to the cost, that really doesn't have any relevance to what NVMe SSDs should be called. And, who knows what the future will hold! Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
