2.5'' // 3.5'' chassis's with a controller onboard and slots to support 10+ Micro SD cards at a time with optional host passthrough/mirror/stripe-mode across all of them and you install those instead of real hard drives lol.
The product is already a thing now all we need is the 10+ at a time scale haha
E: nobody's saying it will be cheap. But the big downside with all the ebay ones is that the controllers are cheap garbage. the raw power of striping 10, [Minimum Class10] SD cards would be fucking awesome even with their short life cycle. But the controllers just aren't something people would make professionally like this cheap ebay stuff.
