Those m.2 drives need 4 lanes of PCIe each.

Sounds to me like you need to work on the cooling in your server case.

Tell me, what would be the issue of reading data from an m.2 drive in a server?

Optical media is not good for archival unless you're buying discs specifically manufactured for archival purposes.

You can also have always on compression and dedupe in most cases with flash

As you can with spinning disks. Nothing about flash makes this a special feature.

You haven't said who you're actually buying from

You must not have actually read the post.

Parked state doesn't mean much when the box the drive is in is launched 20ft during the shipping process.

What you've purchased are OEM drives. They are shipped in big boxes with other drives, slotted into foam slots. Generally a good packer will bubble wrap the shit out of the bare drives when they ship them to you. Retail box drives aren't shipped like this.
