I bought these but have yet to try them out. I ran out of funding until after the holidays.

Any examples of such drives?

I'm using mine as a NAS running TrueNAS Core 13. I have a 7302P (cheap 16/32 Epyc) and 8x32GB DDR4 ECC.

I run a few VMs on it for various stuff.

I want to acquire some U.3 drives to utilize the PCIE 4.0 x4 slimsas connectors.

I have been watching u3 pcie 4.0 x4 drives but don't want to waste such an expensive port on a cheap/small drive.

I'm not looking for one at the moment, but will likely find a 4/8TB drive once I'm ready.

You can search eBay for "u.3 ssd" and find oodles of them.

any SP3 coolers in the 40-50mm height range that aren't going to be atrocious? seems to be primarily dynatron stuff and I'd assume that's loud, and that's probably the tradeoff of moving 200W+ in a SFF chassis.
