NAS. All placed in micro ATX case (small factor):
1. MB: Asus Prime H670-Plus D4, micro ATX. link
With: 1x 2.5 Gb Ethernet, 3x m.2 slots and 3x PCIe 4.0 slots.
2. 3x m.2 to PCIe adapter. link
3. 6x m.2 SSD
- 1x for OS, (m.2 slot)
- 2x for storage on m.2 slots
- 3x for storage mounted on addapters attached to PCIe 4.0 slots
Not to flashy hardware, for example: Intel Core i3 CPU & 8 Gb RAM.
I think this should work, since m.2 and PCIe slots are managed by the same chipset.
