Any thoughts on how I might achieve that?That's the problem. To get up to 16TB with SSDs is way more expensive as when compared to HDDs. For server work, I would only get SSDs that are made specifically for NAS use as those are meant to handle more lifetime writes before failing.
Depending on how you use the SSDs, if they're not meant for NAS/server use, they can fail faster than what you normally would expect from them.
Also, keep in mind that RAID is not a backup. If the whole machine fails, there goes all your data.
Depending on what type of RAID you want to go with will tell you how much drives you'll lose to redundancy.
