That's a lot of storage sticks.. what MB you using that can take 4 M.2's ??
They'll be going into one of these running OpenMediaVault. Use case is low power (compared to the current energy hungry setup) and low noise network attached storage.

To go along with the SSD's, I've just taken delivery of a 3D printed case for the CM3588 in a nice subtle colour.

Power draw compared to just getting a high spec prebuilt NAS?

Yep. I already have a NAS (Synology DS1815+) which has 8 HD's in it. It's loud and power hungry. A CM3588 will be silent (it should cope fine being passively cooled) and use much less power.

I'll regain space too which is always nice.

Performance of the CM3588 isn't going to be earth shattering but it'll be absolutely fine for my needs.

Finally signed up for Starlink, had been weighing up the benefit of Owning/Renting and jumping back and forth. It's €225 to buy the kit, or €10 to rent. Renting felt like it made more sense as that payback period is ~2 years and i wasn't sure what advancements they'd make, so rental felt more flexible where you could return it and not worry about broken/outdated equipment.
However the newer Gen3 kit is only US based and doesn't seem to offer much vs the Gen 2, so given it's going to be a while since that's available over here anyway it made sense to just lock it in. Plus it's deductible through the wifes self employed assessment which lessens the cost
