Easiest/cheapest way to connect an assload of m.2 SATA drives... Speed is not really an issue (zerobytes.monster)

I pulled like ~50 512gb m.2 drives out of computers that were heading to recycling. I'd really like to put them into one big flash array for seeding Linux isos, because the random read on my main NAS raidZ array is abysmal and a major bottleneck.

I don't really care about the raw read performance, because I only care about random read and anything would be better than the 20mb/s my NAS caps out at currently.

Is there like, a 24x USB 3.0 m.2 reader? A pcie card that can do splits on splits on splits? Whatever dirtiest way you can think of to connect a literal bucket of SSDs, I'd like to hear it.

Btw, they're all small form factor m.2 (2230) if that gives me more options.
