a card like this need a board that supports bifurcation https://www.10gtek.com/new-1414 i had a early model without heatsink that never worked stable, even after adding a heatsink but i guess there will be newer ones that do not overheat (i did read somewhere else about people actually using these m.2 pcb's) these cards also come as a very thin pcb and there is nothing beneath it then thin air when mounted, if you try to push cable in then you might damage it and even with 5 cables pre connected you might want to look for some king of mechanical support for the cable to lower the stress on the fragile thing if done with some addition mechanical work and handled carefully when assembled it should work having so many ports close by each other might also limit your options to place (20) disks in commercial servers there is usually a sas backplane to handle that amount of disks you can also look into the system iteration of backblaze's storage servers for inspiration https://www.backblaze.com/b2/storage-pod.html in general there are costs for disks, ports and the power consumption (i higher density or warmer climate there might be costs for cooling) finding the sweet spot might be worth calculating before building it bigger disks and less ports might pay off as its also lowers power consumption, heat is less and even the psu size (power) can be lowered so save money (starting with a lower disk count might also give you options to extend later without a new system) even when you get a 48 disk older commercial system with 1TB disks for cheap you might think twice about its noise and power consumption, having new a 4 x 16TB in a low-power build might even save money in 2-3 years time (not to mention noise, heat and rackspace)

u should use disktools to mount .img file to somewhere and then open the mount point and u will see the grub.cfg

Jun and Jot is a "terminology" that was used initialy by Jumkey and are in terms of conseption the same thing. A buildroot that performs all the actions after an upgrade and then uses kexec to boot dsm using the patched kernel and the patched ramdisk. Jumkey analyzed the buildroot concept and introduced that on his own repo and then it was adapted by TCRP and later by ARPL. TCRP friend came later than ARPL cause that was the time for TCRP to adjust to new technics. TCRP friend has its own repo and its own wiki. https://github.com/pocopico/tcrpfriend/wiki Of course both TCRP and ARPL are based on the same initial concepts but with some enhancements. ARPL currently, as it was designed from scratch having all these technics in mind, will adjust easier in a future upgrade. Some TCRP friend features are uniq like static IPs, Hidden boot messages, loader backup etc. But still missing some features, like eudev. Eudev was adopted partially but will break in case of an update by TCRP friend as this is not yet implemented. Also Fabio further assisted with numerous issues like. dtbpatch, kernel patch, LKM development, new patch development etc. I'm further developing the TCRP loader and will adopt all these in a future release.

It just depends on your needs. Will you need to run virtual machines ? If so, you may consider Proxmox VE or ESXi. if you don't need any virtual machines to run H24, you may go for baremetal. Both works fine as long as bios is configured as SATA AHCI.. Do not expect hardware transcoding with it, CPU is not compatible. You may want to use DS3622xs+ loader.
