We've had this debate before and I generally agree. The PSU is underpowered, it cannot reliably power 6 SSD's in RAID, especially not with the EMMC drive running and using the Wifi card. Not using just any drives. On the other hand, we do have people running it with efficient SSD's without using RAI

What matters the most are the TBW / MTBF. The ssd is the SN5100 QLC / TLC is a general recommendation, TLC usually lasts longer with a bigger SLC cache, hence why people recommends it. The choice of QLC here is key, cheaper with 50% more performances than any TLC you can find at this price. Even if

I recommend any drive that uses TLC (not QLC), has a 5 year warranty and a half decent SCL or DRAM cache. The lower the cell density, the better the performance, reliability and longevity. Hence TLC (tri-level) will greatly outperform QLC (quad-level) but will cost more. Most cheap drives are going

The specs on this** are pretty low-end for proxmox, you're not likely to have a good experience with it - even with the upgrades. ** " Qotom Mini PC Q750G5 CPU Celeron J4125 Quad Core 2.0 Ghz 5X 2.5G LAN Ports Home Office Router Firewall - 8GB RAM 128GB SSD " A quad-core 2GHz Celeron is just not enough
