    That’s pretty dope. Would you mind posting a photo or two of your 4xSSD setup? Also, what are they hooked up to, a mini PC?

      Nope, they are hooked up to my retired gaming rig xD retired because my physical health makes it hard to sit in front of the PC and game 😭 poor RTX 3080 just sitting there…

      Anyway, here you go! There is room for five more 2.5 inch SSDs in the back. I’ve even seen somebody mod this chassi to hold 22 HDDs he he.

      Oh, and the software part: 4 x 4TB drives made into one 16TB logical volume with LVM, on top off which there is a LUKS container for whenever my home is raided (not that encryption helps legally speaking, unless you have plausible deniability…). I figured I don’t need redundancy with SSDs and none of the data is really anything that I couldn’t just torrent again. Maybe I’ll do an offline backup of them down the road.
