Apparently, Lenovo Thinkpads support a protocol where you can run dual
NVMe drives in a SATA adapter and geta couple of lanes of each. I'd
love to mirror drives in a Thinkpad "server".

I do like the looks of those 3.5" enclosures that hold 4 2.5" drives,
accessible from the outside. Put those into a minitower with a
horizontal drive bay and you've got a nice, compact system.
