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

First NAS Setup

SSD cache is pretty useless unless you have a lot of users accessing many small files. There are a few YouTube videos on the topic, showing it makes barely any difference outside of that use case. You also don't really need an nvme drive at all since you're using SSD's as the main drives. And the 99

DPX4800 build

I am not sure if the PCIE4 would be an issue as I dont know exactly what UGREEN means with the following statment on the compaibility page - but most likely you are fine. Given the compatibility and power consumption issues of PCIe 4.0, it is not recommended to install SSDs with high power PCIe 4.0.

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

Barebones K8 Plus - Advice on selected components please

I recently built a similar setup using a K8 as a Proxmox host for my ultra-compact homelab. It runs several Windows and Linux VMs, including one VM dedicated to container workloads. I also chose a 64 GB RAM kit — which hits a nice balance between cost and capacity for this kind of setup. For the sto

Good choice for SLOG for HDD vdevs?

should you get 2? you should know that if a single slog device stops working your pool will not be accessible if you just use the truenas ui, at least with truenas core this is my experience. with the command line you can achieve that you can access the pool again. this can be stressful depending on

Warning: Avoid ACASIS— Stick With OWC

Do NOT buy ACASIS. I bought 2 Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 enclosures that FAILED. Hard drives get very, very hot. Probably around 70-80 degrees Celsius. Also the throughput for Thunderbolt 4 / USB-4 a meager 1GB/sec when using the NVMe M.2 slots with WD RED SN700 1TB SSD's. Trying to return the units for

Best NVME SSD for DPX4800 for VMs and containers

WD Red SN700 has a 2000 TBW eating and most others (Blue…) 600 TBW. So I went with the Red. Will be interesting how long that thing lasts. Also Home Assistant VM and a Windows 11 VM for occasional use and some Docker.
