What do you mean by "what you want to do with it"? The HDD RAID will be used as data storage for Nextcloud, so mostly photos, videos, documents and stuff. Thus, the integrity is quite important. Concluding, I should use ZFS then? Regarding the first cite: would you recommend using ZFS for the...

Just to be clear: you are not saying, that disconnecting both SSD for a (short) period of time will result in loosing all the data, even if both are working fine and are reconnected? Because I would guess that the inavailability of the special devices would lead to the notification, that the...

I understand the first part. But why can't I remove one of the SSDs from the RAID1 without destroying all the data? Isn't this exactly the point of having RAID1? I did this with 200GB of data which took a long time - but I don't mind that (right now.) Do you think, that it will significantly...

Hi Dunuin, thanks. I want to buy two and put them in RAID1. Somebody told me not to put Root-FS, VM/CT, ZFS Special Device on one pool, but I cannot figure out why. Of course the write/ read load on that pool is higher, but as I would be using enterprise grade SSDs (2 in RAID1) it shouldn't be...

Hello, I want to buy SSDs for Proxmox Root-FS, VMs/ CTs, and Special Device for ZFS for two 6TB WD Red HDDs. I found this model online for 115$ (used): Seagate Nytro 1551 480GB 6G SATA Mainstream Endurance Is it recommendable? I am running Nextcloud and some very small CTs (e.g. Unifi...

Hi, thanks for your reply. I am aware that if both ssd fail, my system fails. This is why I want them to be in a raid1. You rate the probability of both SSDs failing at the same time still too high? The setup you proposed will not work. I only have 4 SATA ports. Also, the HDDs are used for LXC...

Hello, having this hardware setup for Proxmox VE: 32GB RAM 2 x 500GB SSD 2 x 6TB HDD I want PVE to be installed on a SSD RAID1 with ZFS. LXC system files shall be stored also on that SSD RAID1. LXC data shall be stored on a HDD RAID1 with ZFS. To make use of the benefits of special devices I...
