For another list I just estimated how many M.2 SSD modules one could cram into a 3.5" disk case. Around 40 w/ some room to spare (assuming heat and connection routing aren't problems), at 500GB/each that's 20TB in a standard 3.5" case.
I could see liquid cooling such a device. insert the whole thing into oil. how many pcie slots are allowed in the standards?
