You might consider then getting four 40gbps nVME enclosures, and then RAIDing multiple together (e.g. in a big stripe, you could get 160gbps throughput, only limited by # physical interfaces). Each slice could be +TBs.
Obviously increases your failure rate, but if you're constantly updating the same models (and not creating your own) you don't really need redundancy.

Acasis makes 40gbps external nVME cases. Mine feels quick (for non-LLM tasks).
I also use 10gbps Terramaster 4-bay RAIDs (how I finally retired my Pro5,1).
This thing uses an order of magnitude -less- energy than the computer it replaced, and is faster in almost every aspect.
10gbps is slow enough to be annoying when you're loading a 200GB model, unfortunately.
