If you're buying new, Supermicro would be my first choice for vendor based on experience. https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/nvme You said 2.5" bays, which makes me think you have existing drives. There are models to fit that, but if you're also considering new drives, you can get further density in E1/E3 The only caveat is that you will absolutely want to put a better NIC in these systems, because 2x10G is easy to saturate with a pile of NVME. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation President & Treasurer E-Mail : robbat2@xxxxxxxxxx GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136
