Its time to replace the good old physical hard drives with something faster.

I was going to get used 5x4TB SSD and use RAID 0.
However, after looking at prices, new / old etc, the best value by far are new 4TB NVMe for £180.

I know the D5 can't utilise that speed.
However, I bet my next RAID can.

Its a shame, given what used prices should be I was expecting 4TB SSD to be £100 for one and as low as £80 for 5.

Please choose disks according to our compatibility list

Sure, I know that what I am doing is not official supported.
Its your "fault" for building a product to such a high standard it turns out its not that fussy over disks

Anyways, my point was to not suggest supporting my way of doing it.
It was more about my surprise at the cost of 4TB SSD.

Given that I can future proof with SSD replacement tech cheaper that SSD that seems to be a no brainer.
