Hi, my workplace is shutting down and my boss is letting me take home
quite a few unused TeamGroup MP34 4TB NVMe SSDs for free. I thought
about making a NAS / home server out of them. Given the lack of
prebuilt solutions that support NVMe drives, I thought about making a
homemade one.

My use cases:

* File server
* Plex
* Docker (PostgreSQL DB etc.)
* Hosting game servers

**So below is my proposed build. This type of build is quite new to me
(i.e. PCIe burification, PCIe to M.2 adapters) so I wanted to see if
I'm doing something wrong:**
