I know it’s not your question, but you might get much better results from a SAS card and adding SATA SSD drives. You can slowly upgrade an ATX system to meet increased power and space needs. I have done the same using truenas and it’s working great.
Continuing to add USB devices does increase the serial traffic per bus since it is shared. Increased traffic increases errors, lowering your bandwidth further.
I’ve tried to respond to everyone who have given their opinion of my set up in a top level comment to try and keep it on topic.
You can respond there if you feel like you have anything to add.
