So can someone make 3.5" SSDs then????
Given that there are already 32TB 2.5” SSDs, what does a 3.5” buy you that you couldn’t get with an adapter?
Native slotting into server drive cages. No concerns about alignment with the front or back.
The market for customers that want to buy new disks but do not want to buy new storage/servers with EDSFF is not a particularly attractive market to target.
What kind of server? Dell's caddies have adapters, and I'm pretty sure some have screw holes on the bottom so you don't need an adapter.
