I tried to move to my storage onto a bunch of ODROID HC4s in a cluster of some sort, but found them to be quite unreliable. Also, needing one machine for every 2 disks was going to be a nightmare from a space (they are not space efficient or designed to be racked), networking, power (PSU and wiring), cost (~$100 per unit including overhead for networking and wiring), and management perspective. I am running 32 disks and always growing, I just bought a Supermicro JBOD that has 36 bays in 4u plus the SAS cabling and card I needed for well under the $1600 the same number of HC4s would cost.
Yeah I just use iscsi from a nas for storage. Specifically using cheaper sata SSDs.
Have considered moving to 10gbe and nvme SSDs for the bandwidth increase but the lab does fine as it tbh.
