Scouring through amazon for random stuff yesterday, saw these “generic brand” nvmes for $65 a pop. Figured I’s give it a shot for my little geekworm pie nas. 4 for the raid and 1 for backup if something goes boogers up. 20tb for $325 was too good to pass up, worse case scenario they are either 1tb each or they fail after a few months. We’ll see whats up when they get here in 2 weeks.
There’s an app by GRC called ValiDrive that will do this. I think it might require a USB adapter but I’m not positive.
