Trying to find a storage company to sponsor my project to build a 1 petabyte Storage array to be connected to a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 through a SAS card and expanders. It is kinda dumb from a practicality standpoint, but i think it would be fun, especially to see if the tiny Pi could handle all that and still get any meaningful throughput.

I have plenty of other projects in the mean time, but that's the big one I've been noodling on for months now. I'm pretty sure it's possible, but I'm absolutely sure I couldn't afford to 'rent' enough drives on my own right now.
