Build, lots cheaper. I did. Went to used pc store. Bought cheap case with a lot of HDD slots. Up to 14 of them with add-on hardware. HBA-LSi card. b550? board, i5-6 or 7 cpu, 16gb ram, 128 gb ssd for os, 256 gb ssd for cache for the hdd when I transfer in/out. I got exactly what I needed. And not a build predetermined and spec'd by someone else.
