Every time I think about building myself an all SSD NAS, I'm reminded of the fact that even with a 10G networking I wouldn't be able to take advantage of all that performance...
Really hard to get full performance from an NVMe unless it’s on the motherboard. Maybe some Thunderbolt 4 or 5 gets closest, but over the network, not so much. 😭 But still, it’s better performance than hard disk and nice and quiet.
I am not sure you would ever buy enterprise drives for this, but maybe you have a bunch of used ones lying around? If you did, it would indeed be a great place to put them. 😎
@@sometechguy Right now gen3 enterprise m.2 nvme cost equal to or a bit more than consumer drives for higher endurance, better iops and latency than most consumer gen3/4 drives. Kind of a no brainer for a flash NAS even with the PCIE lane restrictions if you want the best long term performance per dollar.

Solid review, shame they didn't make those units a bit larger so you could stuff 22110 enterprise drives into them though.

I guess reliability would have to be the main reason for an ssd nas, then performance.
