By now, many have seen the news about Apex’s new storage solution called X21. The X21 is a massive single AIC that can hold up to 21x M.2 SSDs, which is incredible

It should be noted that the X21 can be configured in many different ways and is primarily designed for high-end servers and workstations. The X21 is not equipped with a RAID control chip, which allows end users to configure it according to system requirements. Also, the card is not equipped with fans, so users need to have support for cooling fans. Generally, this solution is good for servers with many cooling fans. In a workstation, additional fans may be required.
