A bit of a shame that it doesn't support NVME.

If it did, then you'd run into the issue of available lanes for that.

I love data drive backplanes, it makes maintenance and servicing, SOO much easier.

I really like the idea of the device... but then noticed the price. Nah. They can keep it.

12 x 8 TB drives in a single DVD sized drive bay....

Interesting, at least.

Not really. You can have a PCIE switch controller card. Eg, 48x to 4x. Then you can have all 12 nvme sticks. But total bandwidth will be limited.

Unfortunately, thats not going to happen. The enclosure can only support M.2 SATA drives, not Nvme ones. While 8TB Nvme drives are available, I have never seen any for M.2 SATA.

I think 4TB is the largest sata drive? They are about A$1600 here. So to to fill this box I'd be looking at just under A$21,000 (given the box itself will probably retail for about A$1500), for 48TB of space. 4 x 12TB HDDs will set me back about A$1900. Would I pay $21000 for 48TB Storage. Not a chance.

I have to agree 100% definitely not worth that amount.
