Very surprised nobody has commented on these. 3.5in slots are now coming with nvme / sata connectors and so it makes sense to want to be able to plug 2 e1.s drives in here. 3.5in drives aren't going anywhere and if anything with Venice bringing pcie gen6, making use of those 3.5 in slots flexibly makes a lot of sense.

I would imagine for some enterprise customers that this option would be very compelling compared to the rear-pcie slot concept product mostly because of airflow as these enclosures would be at the front with cooler air compared to potentially getting exhaust from the CPU in a HCI setting.

Yep, making drives swappable is our motto!
