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

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

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

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.

What 8 TB SSD do you recommend with NASSync 4800 plus?
Nothing in 8tb as far as I know. WD red sn700 is very good for a Nas NVME, it has far better endurance than consumer grade Samsung drives like the 990 pro etc, but only comes in 4tb max. Also do you definitely need cache drives for your use case?

Homeserver SDD
Ich persönlich würde in eine NVME investieren die für ein NAS ausgelegt sind. Die von dir beschriebene hat nur eine TBW von 500 https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/9816/lexar-nm620-1tb-2-ssd/index.html#:~:text=TBW%20is%20rated%20at%20500%20for%20the%201TB%20model Ich habe mir z.b WD Red SN700 NVMe SSD

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
