My Homelab Server Based on Linux

This is my new DIY homelab server, named Soryu, with 6 cores and 64 GiB memory. Right now, she supports 9 SATA drives (8 of which can be 3.5 inches), 5 M.2 NVMe drives, and 7 USB drives, all running at the same time. This kind of expandability making she a great machine for me, as a data hoarder.
