Hi Emanuel,

I'm in the process of building a similar workstation for work with an X440.
I don't have any firm recommendations, but I am interested to hear from
others on the forum. My understanding is that with full-rate streaming,
existing workstations are not going to be able to do much more than write
samples to storage. If you need any processing applied to those samples,
you probably need to build a custom RFNoC block for the FPGA.

I'm also targeting the Threadripper series hosted on a Asus Pro WS
WRX90E-SAGE SE. As for SSDs, I'm planning to use mdadm to apply RAID 0 to
four gen 5 NVMe drives.

Thanks,
Ryan
