I wish I could find something like this (low power kinda thing) that could take like 40 sata ssds.
I have a whole stack of 500 GB ssds from a datacenter decommission that I’ve been sitting on.
The 2TB units found their way into my ceph cluster… but those machines are live vms… A smaller little guy that can stack all these 500 gb would be nice to give to my cousin or something and use as offsite backup.
There are adapters to bring then back to regular SATA connectors. Then you could throw HBAs at them. You’re going to have a hell of a time managing the heat though. They’re lower power, but they’re not exactly cool running.
