It will come with serious heat dissipation and electricity
bill performance, too, unfortunately...

Pricey endeavor, especially in combination with SSDs, to put
it rather gently...

What kind of speeds are you getting, won't the older FC
hardware be a bottleneck in combination with these SSDs?

Too bad VMS isn't so flexible as a file serving platform,
I imagine you ran into the ~2-Tbyte max. volume limit
rather quickly.  Or is that no problem for you?
