I Pooled 22 NVMe SSDs in RAID 0 - SOMETHING BROKE - No Regrets (#RACERRRZ)

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Data Storage is no simple feat in the modern world.
Unlocking ULTRA FAST storage on a budget is a challenge.

HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) provide cost effective bulk storage, but are limited to ~ 220MB/s Read and Write Speeds.

SSDs (Solid State Drives) provide an optimal blend of capacity and speed, but are limited to ~ 540MB/s Read and Write Speeds.

M.2 NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSDs with on-board flash memory deliver unreal speeds with a caveat of limited durability.

But how do you connect your M.2 NVMe SSD to your PC / Workstation?
Can you install 4 NVMes on ANY SYSTEM?
Can you fit 18+ NVMes in ONE SYSTEM?
What is the best PCIe adapter for fitment to your system?

In this video I attempted pooling 22 M.2 NVMes into a RAID 0 pool in the quest of the ULTIMATE SPEEDs. We broke more than just speed records...
