With 60+ hard drives in a single enclosure, you want all of the processing power, PCIe lanes, and bandwidth you can get.
There are a small number of high end ARM server boards that could do it, but you’re not saving much money at that point. Might be more expensive due to lack of scale.
Amortize a server-grade CPU and motherboard across 60+ high capacity drives and it’s not really worth pinching pennies at the risk of lower performance.
