What setup do you use to put 4 NVME in one box? I know it’s possible, I’ve just heard off so many different setups. I know there are some PCIE cards that allow for 4 NVME drives. But you have to match that with a motherboard/CPU combo with enough ones to not lose bandwidth.

- pdpi 5y agoI've been looking into building some small/cheap storage, and this is one of the enclosures I've been looking at. https://www.owcdigital.com/products/express-4m2 https://www.owcdigital.com/products/express-4m2
- isotopp 5y agoFor distributed storage, we use this: https://www.slideshare.net/Storage-Forum/operation-unthinkable-software-defined-storage-bookingcom-peter-buschman#14 https://www.slideshare.net/Storage-Forum/operation-unthinkab... We then install SDS software, Cloudian for S3, Quobyte for File, and we used to use Datera for iSCSI. Lightbits maybe in the future, I don't know. These boxen get purchased with 4 NVME devices, but can grow to 24 NVME devices. Currently 11 TB Microns, going for 16 or more in the future. For local storage, multiple NVME hardly ever make sense.
