I'm curious what form factor the drive is. I've wondered if you could squeeze a bunch of m.2 SSD's into a 3.5 HDD case, how much capacity you would have. I wouldn't be surprised if this SSD ends up fitting the 3.5in standard form
- doublepg23 3y agoI think the current replacement for 3.5" style drives is done with the U.2 connector / form factor (?). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.2 Not sure if anyone has maximized the space like you're thinking however.
- wtallis 3y agoI think all the record-setting high capacity drives have moved over to EDSFF E1.L "Ruler" form factor, though I'd also expect 64+TB drives to be offered in EDSFF E3 sizes that are the more direct successors to U.2/U.3 2.5" form factors.
- doublepg23 3y agoTIL! Maybe I'll have a "EDSFF E1.L" in my homelab someday :)
- JohnBooty 3y agoHeat's going to be an issue, but I guess if the 3.5 enclosure was skeletal or otherwise provided adequate heatsinking, it'd be okay.
- genjii931 3y agoI'd worry about heat issues doing that.
