Try three. Mine are aged two, four and six right now
My parents apparently decided that four was the right number, I couldn't even imagine the stress that would induce.

I'll admit that it does. I've been to about 8 LAN's since it was built and I still get questions.
With those ~$17 128GB cards on amazon, it ends up being just under $200 a ~1TB (theoretically 1.28TB) drive. I agree it's something one would have to "mess with," so it makes you wonder if it's actually worth the savings to anyone. But the idea of having solid state 1TB in a 2.5 form factor for $200 is pretty darn tempting!
I'm actually considering trying to set up a RAID 1 array so there's at least one line of protection from a SD card or the SD raid RAID card failing. In just one 5.25" bay you can fit something like 6 2.5" drives, haha, that's pretty space efficient.
I always thought I'd set aside a mad science budget for something like this... maybe the time will come soon?
With 10 SD card slots available, it would be great if they could be exposed as JBOD and put in a RAID6 array. Not so great for access speed, but would mitigate the reliability issues of cheap SD cards crapping out, or even flipping bits if you use a filesystem with protection like ZFS with RAIDZ6.
You just gotta remember the diminishing performance you get as the drives fill up, eventually making a 3,5" spinning rust cheaper, faster and with a 5,25" bay of SSDs more compact.
So lower capacity SSDs even in raid might not be the optimal storage solution unless noise would be the main issue.

Feeling little low, exhausting week doesn't help. Listened to classical music to chill out, very efficient. I like intimist composition with a single or two instruments (piano, violin+piano, cello+harp, etc)
Le nozze di Figaro, A comme amour and Sealed with a kiss on piano almost always work wonders for me, they give a good balance of energy and just those magic tunes you just get fully envolped in.
Wish I had one as well to do fun and interesting stuff with, but I only just today started filming some DIY stuff for the first non-motorcycle video, lol
Did some cleaning and laundry, stacked up more resources to learn Japanese (for real this time), and troubleshooted my Huion NEW 1060 PLUS on my setup (driver issue). Still have some work to do for the tablet and then I'll get back to work on my case designs.
I'm still learning, but shouldn't you be using hiragana?
Managed to (fingers crossed) sort out my GPU driver issue. Played for about an hour last night without crashing the GPU.
Hiragana is normally used for native words, and katakana for loan words. However, katakana can be used for emphasis in the same way we use bold or italics in English and other Western languages.
I left the interpretation up to the input method I used (Swiftkey). Still working on one for my computer.
Work. Hated my coworker (as usual). RAM Arrived. Upgraded MBP (16GB, wee!). Checked bank account.
Died a little inside.

I spent a LOT of time working on my custom super-secret ITX case project today, that is not so super-secret anymore since I mentioned it.
And the reason I spent a lot of time is that I am using plain ol' hand tools. My verdict: it can be done, but you just need a lot of patience! I cut the back panel from a sheet of 2mm aluminum with this very hacksaw:
If I'm creating a mini case for mini cards, why not do it with a mini hacksaw :<
Then I spent some afternoon hours cutting the I/O panel, with the help of a cordless drill. Then filed the edges clean, which took at least another hour. But it's good to see progress with whatever I have.
