I have the Radxa 4 port SATA HAT, which is a USB mediated drive path via a double USB connector. I'm running ZFS on ubuntu over 4x 2tb shucked portable drives.
If you can make this use some PCI path to the drives, and support 2.5" laptops or SSDs, then you're on the same journey to a better story.
Radaxa have a vertical chassis, with a fan. It runs the fan a LOT. I suspect driving disks is hot work.
