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).

I have no experience with this. Just sharing so you have more ideas to think about

OK now that's cool! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, that's not going to work. You'll have to at least rank your requirements. Is size more important, or is it the number of RAM slots? Also, what is "enough CPU/Ram"?

Also also, "unlimited" will only get you unrealistic things like the 10k+ PCI-E SSDs.

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.
