I don't know if you're made of money or not...
But I think I'd go with Samsung's new [960 Pro] (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-PRO-Internal-MZ-V6P1T0BW/dp/B01LY3Y9PH/) in which ever size meets your needs. I swear there are PCIe 3.0 8x cards that'll hold a pair of m.2 cards, but all I could quickly find is this 3.0 4x card that holds one, [Lycom DT-120 M.2 PCIe to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYCQP38/) for example.
Is [Intel SSD DC P3600] (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-P3600-SSDPEDME012T401-1-2TB-Height/dp/B00L0LFGQQ/) what you're talking about? I'd double check that the 960 Pro out performs it... but if they're pretty close, you can get 2x the space w/ the new Samsung M.2 NVMe SSDs.
> Debugging performance issues is hard.
Absolutely. "It's hard to do" is why I have a job :-) The best short primer I've ever read on how to troubleshoot host/VM performance issues is Brendan Gregg's post on the USE method. Another great resource is Brian L. Wong's 1997 "Configuration and Capacity Planning for Solaris Servers"; I often laugh because the problems in the modern Cloud are often just the problems of any application, magnified by increased speed & parallelization, and Brian's twenty-year-old tome holds up remarkably well if you want to prevent major capacity/performance issues.
> Linux kernel has a cscope target...
I did not know that. That's probably what I should have used; they even have a handy tutorial for getting started using it for large projects.
> I was running OpenGrok on local projects/branches, but having it web only was not that great.
Yeah, I use and abuse Grok hard every workday, that's why I naturally gravitated toward it. But cscope might be the right tool for the job. Thanks!
This price is looking attractive. https://www.amazon.com/Micron-MTFDDAK7T6QDE-7-68TB-2-5-Inch-Enterprise/dp/B07JQ2F2WG
I'd really recommend these two books for high-level administration of ZFS:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1642350001/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/164235001X/
And the other one I linked has one chapter that gets into the low-level workings of ZFS:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0321968972/
Fair enough. How about this one then? One SSD plus a slimline drive in the space the full size drive occupies.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JYMCFXA
Or do they not have enough SATA ports to hook all of that up? Been a while since I used one of those machines.
Something like this maybe:
Norco DS-12D External 2U 12 Bay Hot-Swap SAS/SATA Rackmount JBOD Enclosure https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IXYCOA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XH5NDb68EB26F
Here's the pcie to M.2 adapter i was considering.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B075ZNWS9Y/?coliid=I3NOTLPE1U0CNO&amp;colid=3MF64P1XIZ7V&amp;psc=0&amp;ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
One of the things that concerned me was some of the m.2 adapters only supported sata mode m.2 nvme and the wear limits on the pro samsung nvme ssd's that supposedly use true pcie nvme modes are far superior.
Upon looking at that card again i'm thinking the sata mode side is not M Key nvme but rather the obsolete B key so that may be the major difference to be aware of.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/154462204X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
If interested in some info on ZFS on Linux - its not a huge book, but its very technical in parts.
You want one of these. They have a PLX switch internally so you don't need bifurcation.
