      I recently ordered a 5-drive hat for a Pi5. Dunno   
      if OpenMediaVault (a distro) will boot on the thing   
      (likely not) but if not I'll fake something using NFS   
      or Samba and have my compact NAS  :-)   
      
      When the thing comes in an I have a chance to fool   
      around with it I'll post something.   
      
      The Samsung Pro SATA SSDs ought to be about perfect.
