Hello

I am looking for a 4 or 8-bay U.2 all-flash raid enclosure for DAS or NAS. Within my research, I don't see a lot of them. It can be a stand-alone NAS system with 10G or 2.5G. Or a thunderbolt 3/4 DAS or 2.5G is also welcome. Honestly, I have a really tight budget, any suggestion is welcome. all the flashes are INTEL P4500 2TB U.2 version. Thank you

That's really not the sort of thing that goes well with "tight budget", and your description does not make much sense. Why do you need 4-8 NVMe SSDs only to then cram everything into 2.5 GbE?

Cuz my NUC only has a 2.5G port LOL. The SSD was from my company's IT department, I basically paid nothing. A tight budget is like around 500 USD, Cuz I don't really see many companies providing a consumer level of U.2 raid.

this is what I am looking at right now. If I can find the U.2 to M.2 adaptor. IT might be a good idea. Not sure anyone has tried before
