SSDs idle at like 0.2W IIRC, so 6 of those shouldn't have much impact on overall power. Not sure on 8 SATA ports as most only have 3-4, but I'd be using NVMe S

Not sure on 8 SATA ports as most only have 3-4, but I'd be using NVMe SSDs if I could these days anyways, main boot drive in the motherboard and some more on a PCIe addon adapter.
- theodric 3y ago8TB NVMe SSDs are rather expensive, and I'm running 3x 8TB SSDs in addition to 2x 2TB and a 512GB boot volume. Cost was not a major constraint on this build, but paying 1199.- vs 399.- for an 8TB SSD felt a bit comical. I also can't make any use of NVMe performance benefits when a SATA SSD can more than fill a 1Gb Ethernet pipe, or even a 2.5Gb or 5Gb pipe. Only a 10GbE system would benefit from being able to push more than 550MB/sec, and even that could be met by multiple SATA SSDs in parallel.
