Hi All

I switched over from ESXi 6.7 when PVE 7 came out. I have been running pve on i5 Coffee lake nuc, mainly CTs, I also have j3455 nuc that runs PBS and uses Syno nas NFS storage for backups. All this works reasonably well.

I got an early xmas present of an i5 panther canyon nuc and along with some nvme and ssd drives I had laying around I was thinking what would be the best usage of my available HW (I was just going to configure new nuc as node and start a cluster).

So my HW summary is:

Nuc 1 - i5 4c/8t, single 16gb ram, 500gb nvme, 500gb ssd
Nuc 2 - i5 4c/8t, dual 8gb ram (16 total), 500gb nvme, 250gb ssd
Nuc 3 - j3455 4c, dual 4gb ram (8 total), 250gb ssd

If I can make something useful in proxmox using all 3 then happy days, if not I could slim down to just 1 nuc for pve and either try and use Syno nas for direct backup storage or maybe hang onto the j3455 as PBS is kinda neat (maybe try live incremental backup).

Suggestions welcome.
