Jokes aside, there will be better devices. That's why sometimes nobody bothers. If I were to get one of those, I want firmware updates. With NetApp, possible, if you know how to dissect the right ISO file. And are daring enough to use one of those sg_ utilities. I want to be able to buy replacements later. But supply of these might dry out - big no. No drivers? To me big no, because there are better devices then. Like Oracle F320 (only buy with last firmware) if you want flash to hammer on it. Octane, if it has to be really really fast like a database file. Or ZFS SLOG. I'd rather buy those than try and hack an NVME or AHCI emulation layer for the operating system. For weeks. For a device nobody has. Just know what you get yourself into? Let us know.
