And maybe put a new card in front of my 2T /home raid10.
Is everything going into one chassis? Have you considered an external drive chassis?
Got one of those coming too. Small possibility it will fit it the bottom of this huge and old tiger direct tower. Because the radiator for the 6 core i5 is too tall, it hasn't had a side cover on it in years. If not, theres a 3 3.5" cage at the bottom of the stack I can stuff with 2 SSD's per bay slot. A hidey place, front cover is solid, but cooling might be a problem. If worse comes to worse I could shoe-goo a 120x15 to the side of the cage.
This is what I meant:
