Which NVMe for Proxmox OS and VMs (on Minisforum UM890 Pro)?

In my small mini pc, I use a WD Red SN700 (500GB) as my OS drive and a Sabrent Rocket 4 2TB as my VM drive. I formatted the OS drive to be EXT4/LVM-Thin and the VM drive to be ZFS. This turned out to be a perfect solution for my needs. Proxmox does extensive logging so the wear is reduced by using t

What 4TB M.2 NVMe SSD do you recommend for QNAP TVS-h874 NAS? I am upgrading from a 2TB Samsung SSD 980 PRO with Heatsink.

980, 990 pro? No. Something suitable for NAS use, like the WD Red SN700 + heatsink.

Which NVMe for Proxmox OS and VMs (on Minisforum UM890 Pro)?

For your Minisforum UM890 Pro, the ideal two-NVMe combo is: Slot 1 (VMs/Datastore): A high-performance, high-endurance drive like the WD SN850X. Slot 2 (Proxmox OS): A reliable, but more budget-friendly drive like the WD Red SN700 or a similar-class consumer drive. This setup balances performance wh

SSD Choice for VM

WD Red SN700 2TB should be around that price. It's NAS oriented drive, made for 24/7 operation and has an endurance of 2500 TBW. Kingston KC3000 2TB has endurance of 1600 TBW. WD SN7100 2TB has endurance of 1200 TBW. I know Red is gen3, but it should still be more than enough for a VM. Unless you ne

NVMe SSD for cache vs NVMe for fast storage for apps, docker etc for my use case

One thought- the WD red sn700 is an excellent choice as a Nas nvme. It is definitely a good choice for caching. If your intention is to store the music and photos on the nvme itself, which I assume is the last option with the two TB nvme, and you aren't writing to it very much once you do the initia

No warning if I remove a drive? FLASHSTOR 12 Pro Gen2 FS6812X

Yeah, it's unfortunate. I picked the Samsung 990 Pro 4TB as a possible alternative because it is listed on the Asustor NVMe compatability page as working with the FS68 NAS: https://www.asustor.com/en/service/m2ssd?id=m2ssdI note the WD Red SN700 is not in this list - I foolishly didn't check at the

Good choice for SLOG for HDD vdevs?
