I wasn't including the workstation market when I referred to what PC OEMs are doing.
Are you using 8 consumer SATA SSDs in your workstation? Is it for the sake of increased capacity, or for the sake of increased performance? Because it's pretty easy now to match the performance of an 8-drive SATA RAID-0 with a single NVMe drive, but 8TB consumer NVMe SSDs are still 50% more expensive than 8TB consumer SATA SSDs.
(Also, even 8 SATA ports is above average for consumer motherboards; it looks like about 17% of the retail desktop motherboard models currently on the market have at least 8 SATA ports.)
