That was my initial thought too. I clicked hoping for some new chassis/hardware that would make things easier.
Like maybe a rack mounted low power quad core with lots of memory slots, 6 or so 3.5” spinny slots, and some hot swap nvme bays for an affordable price.
I dont need exotic hw, I just want the ability to have some big slow storage mixed with some fast storage.
My current set is a 1U atom setup with an esas card hooked up to a 1U drive shelf. With dual bonded 10gbps uplink.
