Recommendations for an all-SSD home server? (lemy.lol)

No budget for now, and I own the SSDs already I just want to know what's out there and what other people like.

My current setup is cobbled together from random parts and the HDDs are loud in my bedroom. I want all SSD storage (at least 4x) but with enough CPU/Ram to handle a lot of apps/VMs and some above-average demanding tasks (jellyfin, syncthing) than just being a NAS.

The only other criteria is that I would prefer it to be as small as possible (not rack mount).

Assume an unlimited budget for now, I just want to know what's out there.

I mean, if you're willing to pay the price of a car per SSD they go up to at least 122TB density per drive... (e.g. Solidigm SBFPF2BV0P12001 D5-P5336 -- $16K~$20K depending on supplier from a quick search)

I don't actually recommend that for personal use, but since you were curious about what's out there, there's some absolutely crazy shit in enterprise server gear if you have deep enough pockets.

Those are awesome lol what would be a good system to run them in?

EDIT: I feel I need to say I'm not actually going to pay for that, 4x4tb is probably plenty but it's still awesome.

It looks like the connector is U.2 so I'd look for motherboards that indicate support for that explicitly. From a quick search, it looks like SuperMicro makes some. This is getting out of my area of expertise though; I just know the crazy drives exist...

For that kind of money, I would expect the SSD drive to be able to provide some other qualities beyond technical things like capacity/bandwidth/latency.

Some very good qualities.

What you get is something with an acceptable warranty and maybe some support.

What you then realize is what you DON'T have on your consumer gear.

For that kind of money, I would expect breakfast and a blowie every morning.

For the price of the car I would expect the SSD drive to grow wheels and be able to actually drive it

Exceptional qualities that usually go for a high price.
