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.
Impressive. Not sure the dimensions would work -- That adapter looks awfully wide. Unless they added more space on the MB, you'd be hard pressed to put in two of these in adjacent slots. But... where would I put the monitor and, extra network cards? Besides, I said you wouldn't put them on your X99 -- not a custom-designed board that would not fit in any current off-the-shelf case. So two years out you want to add another 24 drives, where do they go? I think my LSI controller supports up to 96 or 192 drives. I throw on another case & cable and can add another 24 drives. That's up to 240T using 10T drives.
And, who knows what the future will hold!
True enough. Sas+sata will become enterprise only -- probably priced out of consumer market, with consumer having no peripherals or hookups to allow importing or exporting content... :-/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
