Me to the Pi's PCIe 3.0 x1 root bus.
It's small but it can handle a sizeable load

I stopped using these big ones, and first of all: spinning rust. No regular HDDs anymore here, power costs in this country are one of the highest in the world.
over 120W became less than 46W (for the entire rack, including a managed switch, ups, the server and some lights, as well as the home office (2 laptops, 2 screens) that also runs behind the ups.

darn, wish I could edit posts. I mean the home laptops and the two screens are on standby. But with 45W overall on average I can still host 5 VMs that include a personal cloud, mailserver, docker container with even more crap, dns server, firewall, router

What are you running for drives? I just ordered 3x14TB SAS disks for my MSA, I am hoping to rebalance the controller and make the primary array faster

In this shot, I'm just doing testing for now, so it's a mix of 2-6TB, 5 SAS and 3 SATA, all enterprise grade. For the production build, all HDDs are 6TB SAS from HGST and I have a mix of brands for the mirrored special vdev(800G) and read cache (1.6T), all SAS12G SSDs. I also use a large recordsize of 1M, since the large majority of my files are large

Just realized I used large 3 times in a sentence..
