48TB $5,000 Raspberry Pi server #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Jeff Geerling loaded up a Pi with as much SSD as the pi (and his bank account) could handle. It can be done but should it? From Jeff Geerling:
When I heard about Radxa’s Taco—a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4-powered NAS/router-in-a-box—I knew what must be done.
Load it up with as much SSD storage as I can afford, and see what it can do.
And after installing five Samsung 870 QVO 8TB SSDs and one Sabrent Rocket Q NVMe SSD—loading up every drive slot on the Taco to the tune of 48TB raw storage—I found out it can actually do a lot! Just… not very fast. At least not compared to a modern desktop.
