Know bulk NAS
 

A USB3 hub, if they're up to it. Couple the hub to USB3-to-SSD/SATA,
low-power adaptors for six 1T SSDs, stuff it all in a cardboard
shoebox and instant NAS. Copyright the idea and send it to Popular
Mechanics.

My first SSD, an EVO 830 64G, boots perfectly from a *NIX multi-boot
arbitrator on FAT16 and FAT32 partitions. Stuck it in ten years ago,
flipped the red switch, and haven't needed to looked back. Maybe
memory was better then without an alternative to an intention to last,
but I don't really need to churn-up data on the big write-life
expectancy barchart in the sky.

MB's now think to triple costs for more than a couple SATA ports, a
$2000 NAS box, are anything but for a flow otherwise into added costs
and specialties, like transfer speeds with one and only one MB-slotted
SSD.

Leaving average chances for running out of space on cramped laptop,
micronized miniscule MB factors, for a blooming garden of ripened
marketing, because everybody must run to USB3 external storage -- the
cheapest solution at nearest to comparable streaming speeds, a
minimally generous SATA thruput, actually, or at its everlasting
counterpart USB3 augments. (Two bar-graphs intersecting at cost
versus storage life expectancy.)
