@fbodymechanic If you are interested in the option of booting off of an SSD, specifically an M.2 drive, the Argon 1 has a replacement “bottom” that integrates the SSD into the case. This bottom has a built in logic board the will convert the M.2 drive into a USB 3.0.

My concern is, will doing this and adding the drive array needed for my home server “overwhelm” the USB 3.0 bus.
