The 5-Drive NVMe NAS: Building a PCIe 3.0 RAID 5 NAS in a Lenovo M90q Tiny
· 6 min read
If you looked at a 1-liter Lenovo enterprise desktop and thought, "This needs to hold a server's worth of solid-state storage," you are in exactly the right place.
Today, we are combining our custom M90q riser board, a cheap dual-NVMe adapter, and the hardware bifurcation mod, and we are going to cram five NVMe SSDs into a single Tiny6 1L chassis.
The result? A dense, stupidly fast PCIe 3.0 RAID 5 (RAIDZ1) Network Attached Storage device that doubles as a high-tech space heater.
