I'm more interested in trying to get my hands on a SolidRun Honeycomb board, or heck, if the stars aligned, an Ampere server... I figure it might give a good reference for a better/full-featured ARM PCI Express implementation (especially the Ampere as it implements the latest ARM arch). That goes against some of my "get things done the cheapest way possible" philosophy, but it would be nice to be able to test things on hardware where it is known to _likely_ work.

I'm actually stacking Raspberry 2/4 as servers with 1TB SanDisk (slow but with enough distribution fast enough)... But right now I'm investing in Mini-ITX Atom 8/16-core servers (25/32W) with passively cooled cases (Streacom) and 8x64GB SATA SSDs from 2011 (50nm that last 100.000 writes per bit for 2W per drive = 18W total)! So the Raspberries are an option if power becomes unstable/expensive, gonna have lead-acid backup and Gb/s fiber in appartement/summer house for 100% read uptime redundancy!
