if you use a 2U and much deeper System, you could fit them standing instead of laying down. It should be possible to add a huge amount by that.

May I also suggest to just use a small 3d printed part to hold them in place.

How about the raspberry pi m2 shield? Or how about using a 24x 2.5" chassis to support Hot swap drive replacement?

If I was to do a V2, I'm really interested in Pine64's clusterboard and the Turing Pi 2. However, the clusterboard is out of stock, the Turing Pi 2 isn't out yet, and it's very difficult to get Raspberry Pi CM4's right now. Fitting all the Pi's on one board would make this way easier.

The 3d printed part, 24x drives, and m2 shield all sound like awesome ideas. If I had an use for 2U worth of Pis (that would be a ton!), I'd definitely consider it.
