Perhaps a different brand adapter card would give better results.

Buying a new major brand server/ workstation with all the parts 
installed at the factory is going to be expensive.


As other readers have mentioned, a small business that builds to order 
should have better prices and may offer "quiet" systems.


In addition to U.2 drives, Intel makes server systems:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/servers/server-chassis-systems.html


And, Intel seems to be related to the Clear Linux distribution:

https://clearlinux.org/


I would expect an Intel server with Intel drives and Clear Linux should 
be a good combination.  Perhaps you should research Clear Linux and/or 
ask the community.
