You think HDD can't fail without warning? OK, I get that SSD don't implement S.M.A.R.T but..

You can read it on Linux by running:
"nvme smart-log /dev/nvmeX"

NVMe SSDs only significantly increase bandwidth, but not random throughput. Unless you have a 40gbit network you're not going to see the difference between one NVMe SSD or two if you're accessing them over the network.
I do everything baremetal, and my servers are a few extra (and quite decent) NICs for direct connection to eachother so that no even switches or routers bring their overhead
Basically you dedicate 1/N to each server, instead of allocating it dynamically on demand.

My NAS has 3x 1gbit Ethernet ports
10Gb ports are quite cheap as well especially if you're only going point to point (the switches are still a little pricy, but the ports for a NAS to VM host are easily under $100 now).

It's not the same product: 970 PRO vs 970 EVO.

I had planned on doing this but even with gigabit wifi, and half gigabit transfer speeds for the SSD, NAS encryption algorithms seems to cap the transmission speeds to around 100 megabytes per second I have all the parts I just haven't formatted my SSDs to go into the NAS yet and I'm not sure if I will
100 megabytes per second sounds more like the limit of a gigabit connection than an encryption algorithm. Most NAS boxes of the last 5 years should be doing encryption offload on the CPU via things like AES-NI instructions which should be hitting ~500 MB/s per core.
I can get 400 megaBYTES per second on my iphone from external sources
Inside my network I can get faster
Dont want the NAS to be a bottleneck for my wireless convenience
edit: still megabits

How much are you gaining by having multiple interfaces, with each one going to separate machine, instead of bonding them and using a switch? Basically you dedicate 1/N to each server, instead of allocating it dynamically on demand.
Latency is critical for some tasks, with bandwidth being a distant second.

99% of the time SSDs are a boolean: "Do you have a SSD? Yes/No" and performance between different SSDs is basically unnoticeable. Change my mind
> performance between different SSDs is basically unnoticeable Spinning rust drives will likely give you up to ~110 MB/sec. A SATA SSD will likely give you to up ~550 MB/sec, a 5x increase. An NVMe SSD will double the write and quadruple the read speed of a SATA SSD, in 1/3 the size. Yes, any SSD is likely good enough for your average user to feel like a computer is fast. If anything you do is even remotely heavy on…
But focusing on sequential read speed misses the main improvement that SSDs give you over HDDs: random reads and writes ("seek speed"). Reading or writing lots of small files from an HDD will ruin your transfer speeds unless they're written sequentially, whereas a SATA SSD will do quite well and an NVMe SSD will do really well. This is the cause of the noticeable speedup when you upgrade to an SSD.

Even switches like Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN are getting into 100 EUR range, (if you are fine with running optic cables instead of metallic).

I am fine with fiber; it's cheap and for a few ports at home, I don't worry about the power (especially as compared to the servers it cross-connects).
