Want a specific device, but don't know who makes it. IF it is even made. Cant find it yet.
What I want:
Rackmount NAS device. 1U. Maybe 2U but can't believe it really needs to be bigger than 1. Cooling maybe...
NVMe M.2 drives (4+) WD makes them (reds), but what does one put them in?
SFP+ for 10G connectivity to the network
What I Don't want:
Platter Drives. What is this 1999?
Desktop box. I have enough crap on my desk. There is a reason we have racks! I don't need to hug it. I need to put it in the closet and lock the door!
Beehive sounding fans. Yes, it needs to be cooled, yes it will be shut in the closet, but still don't want the noise. (I had a server years ago that was really loud...sold that piece of junk a month after I bought it. It was so loud, I could hear it through the walls)
Nice to have but at this point unnecessary: A+B PSU. I dont have redundant power at the office, so... unless I put it in a data center, not necessary.
Thoughts?
