    Multi-NVMe (m.2, u.2) adapters that do not require bifurcation

    i was considering the 4.0 card for upgradability and i think the 3.0 uplink (15.5GB/s) can bottleneck the drives in sequential read (8x 2.6GB/s = 20.8GB/s), but maybe not worth the extra cost in this case, thanks

    Multi-NVMe (m.2, u.2) adapters that do not require bifurcation

My application is very latency-sensitive, I'm considering using something like Highpoint R1580 (PCIe 4.0 16x) to drive 8x Optane 905p (PCIe 3.0 4x) but wondering if the additional latency won't give any benefit over...

    EU Dual E5-2600 Foxconn Server £250

    Yes, very. Once system boots it quietens down a bit, but wouldn't want to be in the same room when it's on. Lack of a lid probably doesn't help here.

    EU Dual E5-2600 Foxconn Server £250

    I was looking at the Quanta 2ML boxes from Natex for a cheap colo box but shipping was prohibitive to UK. This seems like much the same thing but a bit cheaper- Cheap E5-2600 Sixteen Core Cloud Foxconn Server (Configure-To-Order) Base price is £79.99, but you're forced to add 2xCPU and RAM. I...
