12x128gb disks = ~1.5TB worth of total disk space. I'm assuming...you're not gonna use RAID0...so the final amount of disk space will be even less.They're Sandisk x300 128Gb sata drives. I plan on running pfsense, Plex, some game servers, FTP, Web hosting. I just want the most speed possible
for future use cases.
If that's roughly inline with your storage needs...a single PCIe disk/flash accelerator (that has drivers for ProxMox) would be way better. 1.2TB or even 3.2TB PCIe disks can had for not too much money. And no HBA...no cables...no raid...no multiple disks...
