    Why so much SSD storage? Just get SSD’s for you OS and games etc and get HDD’s, maybe put them in a NAS. Much cheaper that SSD’s. You don’t need the speed for data storage.

      Thanks, I know, I’m not new to the game. I just had prioritize absolute silence over cost/performance, since I live in 30 m2 and I can’t stand the otherwise sweet buzzing of HDDs. I need absolute silence to be able to sleep, so I bought four 4TB Samsung 870 EVOs.

      I am however planning to build an HDD rack with a RPi, which I then intend to keep in one of my closets in order to isolate the sound. For now, I have cages for eight. :)
