Thank you everyone, this has been incredibly helpful! :)

I've got one server running a small Windows Server 2022 for JobBoss and one running file sharing. Thats all! I'm going to mess with mirror next, Or I might just throw a 2 TB Nvme on board and run single disk with backups haha @leesteken : Thanks, I will investigate those much closer!

@IsThisThingOn : Thats what I thought, but man these disks are getting hammered, iowait sometimes at 65%! I'm running RAIDZ1, or RAIDZ2, but both seem to get so bogged down. Maybe mirror is the way to go?

No, its all SATA backplane. I'm seeing alot of these disks, Lenovo Enterprise 1.6TB MLC SATA 6Gbps Hot Swap Mainstream Endurance 3.5-inch Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) for x3250 M6, but im not seeing PLP or such yet. @leesteken: You're right, I'm down deep in the rabbit hole! I just want...

Like this one: https://www.memory4less.com/seagate-1200-2-3-20tb-sas-12-0-gbps-ssd-st3200fm0023 Refurbished?! Holy cow! I'm spiraling over here!

Then I've read all the posts about disabling services, running log2ram, etc, and while those might be viable "fixes," they aren't a solution. I'd rather go after the solution and not start tinkering with alternatives ya know?

And the plot thickens. I'm not familiar with U.2. I'm running a supermicro chasis with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v4 @ 2.30GHz, 512GB RAM, 4 x CT2000BX500 on raidz1, 12TB HDD for backup. I was hoping to build server, install proxmox, run vm(s). LOL!

Haha, because I can. So where would I purchase? I looked at this and it seems legit...

Haha thats a fair answer, and thank you for the sound advice! So for example...

Thank you for your replies! These lists are interesting and I'm really not keen on buying used. I was looking for more of a "I use Micron 5400 and its been great." haha this is exhausting! Weird the Micron 5100 Pro says its enterprise SSD, but it uses TLC? I'm still wrapping my head around TLC...

I'm looking for some guidance here! After building many systems with SSD and Proxmox I continue to struggle to find a great SSD. Crucial, PnY, Fanxang we all know are consumer SSD. I've been looking into Silicon Power A58, but even that says its a consumer SSD, but with SLC. So does that mean...

Hello! I must be missing something too ... I have two hosts with 10Gb NIC. Connected together the two hosts, with a DAC cable, can reach 19Gbps using balance-rr. Pretty cool! I bought a TP Link SX3008F 10G switch. Using LACP, or any other method, I can not get these two hosts to test higher...

Man we reviewed all security cameras on the DVR, alarm access, physical access is just not in the cards. IPMI is disabled in the BIOS. The only remote access to port 22 is from my office by IP, of which also was not accessed. But even then, would something like hdparm allow a operation on a...

Hey all, So this morning a client server running Proxmox wouldn't boot. I had him connect a monitor and on the screen we see "Enter user password." These are Micron 5300 SSD running in ZFS RAIDZ1. The server suffered a power failure this weekend, but then this? After quite a bit of research all...

Ah yes, fair enough. To be clear, the PVE in question is running limited hardware. I was hoping to achieve ZFS with only 1 VM on a 4GB, 128GB SSD RAID1 small server appliance. My apologies if I confused you with the CEPH reference! I may have it stabilized now with 512MB min and 1GB max RAM and...
