I secured Four 4TB Crucial M.2 SSDs during Black Friday. What's the best use for them?

posted 10 months ago

This was a bit of an impulse buy. Not sure how to use them. I was thinking:

Austor Flashstor NAS, either the 6 or 12 bay NAS, but I already have a HDD Synology NAS, so it is not needed. More just for fun.
A Homelab server with a motherboard that has 4 m.2 slots if such a thing exists. Then I could make a K8s cluster or a proxmox server.
Find some other way to provide storage for a Homelab server that is not part of a motherboard? Like a PCIe board that holds 2 or 4 m.2 SSDs?

They’re good at storing and reading files fast.
