Unfortunately many of us still have old SATA-only or SATA+SAS
servers and it is often better to have more low-density old
servers than fewer higher-density new servers (even if one can
afford the latter).

For the future the ideal for smaller organizations would be U.3
servers so one can buy new U.3 NVME devices and recycle existing
SATA or SAS devices along them but given the current constraint
on RAM availability I guess getting more servers at all will be
rather hard in 2026.

Besides there used to be the strange situation where (I guess
because of the huge installed base of U.2 servers) U.2 models
were somewhat more available (and cheaper) than U.3 ones or E3.S
or E1.S ones but all this is moot again because of the RAM
(etc.) availability issues.
