I decided that I really want M2 Nvme drives, so I started by looking at drives on Newegg, where they have a pretty good selection. I can get 4TB drives from several manufacturers, and one offers even an 8TB drive. Then I started searching for enclosures. The best price point for drives is at the 2TB size, but that means an enclosure that can handle 10 M2 Nvme drives. I found a couple, but they were only USB 3.0, and there's no point in having super-fast drives if the connection is only 5Gbs. I mean really, what were these manufacturers thinking? Searching on 'Thunderbolt 3' I came up with a couple of 4-bay enclosures, but nothing with more bays. They may exist and I just haven't found them yet. If I settle for 16TB I can get 4TB drives for a little over $700, but that brings the total price to $3K. I can get 2TB drives for a little over $200, so that saves nearly a third of the cost. I'll keep poking around. :) _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
