INSANE Homelab Storage Server

Consolidating storage for my Home Server NAS setup got a bit crazy. My T620 recently lost the motherboard, so I decided to go with an EPYC 256GB RAM uber flash setup. I build and test this awesome 64 core homelab storage beast that comes with 100GbE networking, 20TB of flash storage, over a Petabyte of hard drives, a GPU, and even a Blu Ray drive. Much Gen 4 NVMe
and SAS goodness in this insane storage server!
