It's weird that there's a server in there. Seems like a waste of space and weight. Why not just a thunderbolt interface?

2x200 Gb network... Compared to 80 Gb that is 5 times faster...

  I wonder if that's a typo though. 200G ethernet does exist, as part of the "Terabit Ethernet" standard, but it's extremely rare and you'd have trouble finding anything to connect it to that could negotiate that fast.

    Switches are crazy expensive but optics are easily available... here's a 400G for less than $500 https://www.fs.com/products/110530.html https://www.fs.com/products/110530.html 200G switches are about the cost of a small car, but if your buying this thing that is probably not a showstopper: https://www.wiredzone.com/shop/product/10023793-supermicro-sse-sn3700-vs2rc-100g-200g-ethernet-switch-offers-32x-qsfp56-ports-regular-airflow-front-to-back-9871 https://www.wiredzone.com/shop/product/10023793-supermicro-s...

      I think it’s just a typo.

    It's not "extremely rare" in the intended market. It'll still take you over 2 hours to fill this, if you manage to saturate both links (which you can't realistically do).

    Doesn't most vendors sell switches capable of that?

    100/200/400Gb is widespread in high-performance (HPC or big AI) datacenters.

    Isn't 200G starting to become reasonable common for high-end enterprise gear? Dual-port 10G/25G is fairly standard on servers these days, and SANs with multiple 100G ports aren't exactly rare either. I wouldn't be too surprised to see 200G or 400G ports on newer spine switches these days.

It's a solution, not a part. Plug this into the LAN, copy data. It manages everything about the file storage internally, etc. With this much storage (the sheer number of drives) you need a dedicated server to keep the data moving.

  I saw your very recent comment on EMRs /EHRs and that you would like to build a new one. we are actually in the process of building one, we have a doctor on board and we also have our first users. Our goal is to create the most fantastic user experience for primary Care practitioners. Our existing MVP uses AI to to speed up clinical documentation process using speech text to speech. Transcribing the conversation, summarizing it, generating a doctor's letter. We try to identify what actions the doctor recommended to the patients while talking to them. For instance, regenerate a laboratory referral in real time. We are writing our yc application atm. I can't see your email in your profile, but you should be able to see mine. I would love to talk to you. Please drop me a message if you are still interested in building a new EMR.

You aren't backing up your Mac Pro to this.
