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.

      NVMe SSD Pie Recipe

      Ingredients:

      • 1 cup of Silicon Wafers (finely ground)
      • 256 GB of Flash Memory (preferably TLC or QLC for extra flavor)
      • 1 NVMe Controller (for that zesty kick)
      • 1/2 cup of PCIe Lanes (chopped into small bits)
      • 1 tbsp of Thermal Paste (for a smooth texture)
      • 1/4 cup of DRAM Cache (optional, for added richness)
      • 1 Heatsink (for garnish)
      • A pinch of Firmware (to taste)

      Instructions:

      1. Preheat your Oven:

        • Set your oven to a toasty 450°F (232°C). This is crucial for achieving that perfect, crispy circuit board crust.

      2. Prepare the Crust:

        • In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely ground Silicon Wafers with the chopped PCIe Lanes. Mix until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
        • Press the mixture into a pie dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread to form the base of your pie.

      3. Layer the Flash Memory:

        • Sprinkle the Flash Memory evenly over the crust. Make sure to distribute it uniformly for consistent flavor in every bite.

      4. Add the NVMe Controller:

        • Place the NVMe Controller in the center of the pie. This will act as the heart of your dish, providing that essential zing.

      5. Mix in the DRAM Cache:

        • If you’re using DRAM Cache, sprinkle it over the Flash Memory layer. This will add a delightful richness to your pie.

      6. Drizzle with Thermal Paste:

        • Gently drizzle the Thermal Paste over the top layers. This will help bind all the ingredients together and ensure a smooth texture.

      7. Bake to Perfection:

        • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the Flash Memory is bubbling with excitement.

      8. Garnish and Serve:

        • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
        • Garnish with a Heatsink on top for that extra touch of elegance.
        • Slice and serve with a side of Firmware updates for added flavor.

      Enjoy your NVMe SSD Pie with a cup of your favorite cooling liquid, and remember

      Bon appétit! 🍰💻
