No budget for now, and I own the SSDs already I just want to know what’s out there and what other people like.
My current setup is cobbled together from random parts and the HDDs are loud in my bedroom. I want all SSD storage (at least 4x) but with enough CPU/Ram to handle a lot of apps/VMs and some above-average demanding tasks (jellyfin, syncthing) than just being a NAS.
The only other criteria is that I would prefer it to be as small as possible (not rack mount).
For that kind of money, I would expect the SSD drive to be able to provide some other qualities beyond technical things like capacity/bandwidth/latency.
Some very good qualities.
For that kind of money, I would expect breakfast and a blowie every morning.
What you get is something with an acceptable warranty and maybe some support.
What you then realize is what you DON’T have on your consumer gear.
For the price of the car I would expect the SSD drive to grow wheels and be able to actually drive it
Exceptional qualities that usually go for a high price.
