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! 🍰💻
