The SSD's would be a pain to wire. I would drop support for that many drives. Regular ITX motherboards support 6 at most usually. And if someone wanted more than 6 drives, then they would want a cleaner more dedicated solution. Also, using more than 6 drives requires a PCIe SATA controller. Consider a 5.25" mount points for those people who want lots of drives.Keep it simple. If you make lots of options, you will have to create documentation, testing, and verification to prove that your product works.I am of the opinion that if you care about aesthetics, you would recess the I/O plane. Cables are a sore sight, and the few vertical cases we have make strides to cover them.
