I'm kind a excited about these NVMe PCI bays. I have a short-depth wall-mount rack in a closet for my networking gear, and I found I like having a "front IO" server chassis in it:

However, I've never been able to find a chassis (even a 3U or 4U one) that had both front IO and external drive bays for hot-swap. But now we're at the point where I can finally achieve what I want by using the card slots for the drives!

(Now I just need to be able to afford the cost.)
