Musing: Since Rosewill's 4U rack cases all actually use 5.25" bays in the front, couldn't they be upgraded to U.2 to U.3? (zerobytes.monster)

So in my upgrade plans over the next year, I intend to drop in an LSI HBA 9600 24i to operate the internal drives of a Rosewill ‎RSV-L4412 and link it to a Netapp disk shelf. I figured the 9600 24i since it's PCIE 4 and also only around CAD$300 on eBay. (Some internal connectors will be adapted to external via a bracket)

But I was thinking, since the 9600 24i also supports NVME and the various Rosewill cases mostly all have 5.25" bays in the front just with hot swap cages mounted there. Then you could remove those cages and drop in off the shelf standard U.2/U.3 cages and voila, you have an NVME capable server? I'm just musing this because it seems I'm 'accidently' walking into a fairly future proof upgrade path?
