Two small boxes, one complete AI workstation. The bottom one is a GIGABYTE DGX Spark; the top one is Luisuantech’s GP Spark, and it exists because the Spark’s internal slots only fit short 2230/2242 M.2 drives, a design choice that caps capacity well below what full-size SSDs offer. This box takes four full-size 2280 sticks and serves them back to the Spark over a single 100GbE cable using NVMe-oF, with a dedicated offload chip doing the protocol work. No fans, no drivers, no storage OS, under 100W over USB-C. In our testing it fed the Spark at 9.5 GiB/s, the full line rate of the link, with GPU Direct Storage running straight to the drives. Full review at the link in bio.
