Hey @Dunuin @chrcoluk. First of all, thanks a lot for all your help and insights. I tried every trick you gave, but nothing worked and the SSD still had some serious bottlenecks. I wiped my drive, installed Windows on bare metal and ran tests there. The speed was pretty good and the drive...

I'm having a single drive ZFS pool as well. Can you explain what you mean by volumes? Can you spell it out for me, please? :) When I initially installed PVE, I created my single drive disk as ZFS, named it and went on to create VMs with their harddisks on that named ZFS disk. When I recreate it...

Thanks a billion for that explanation. It makes perfect sense and I should invest in an enterprise grade SSD when I see wear outs!

Just to make sure that I'm getting this: Under my PVE node and Disks I have two physical disks. One is used for the PVE OS and the other is the Samsung NVME. The Samsung is used for my VMs and has the ZFS partition. Should I highlight the device itself and then do a "Wipe disk", or are you...

Thanks for the hint on the SMART wearout status. I'll keep an eye on it. I have an Ubuntu server running 24/7 with a handful of docker containers. Some of them can be pretty active though. The other vms are a couple of Windows machines that I actively turn on when I need them. One of them is a...

Mine's 12. Does this mean that I don't need to reinstall Proxmox? And in my case, I need to wipe my already create ZFS disk and recreate it per your instructions? Sorry, if I sound stupid, but what does the above mean? When I initialize it with the Windows Setup, there's a cluster size? I'll...

As someone just started with Proxmox, can you tell me where to change this, please?

I have a total of 32 gb in the host and I have for testing purposes turned off the other vm I have running. I have limited it to 1 gb as you told me, but I'm still having the same issue. I'm only copying the file from the network just to have the write speed test, and it swings between 0 and 50...

That's a huge let down that I didn't knew all of this before I made my purchase. I honestly thought that my main focus should be the CPU and a large amount of RAM - and the SSD would just give me the bare metal-ish performance. I guess I just have to live with it for now. Thanks for all your...

Thanks for taking the time to write that explanation. I haven't tried to install fx Windows just to see the performance of the disk prior to installing Proxmox. It's a Samsung 980 NVMe M.2, so it should be performing a bit better than what I'm seeing :) Would it make sense for me to recreate the...

I have a problem with my Windows 10 guest VM, where the disk write speeds are going from 500-600 MB/s to around 50 MB/s in a matter of seconds. After a while it goes down to around 2 and then back up again to around 50 MB/s, leaving the OS almost unusable. I have tested it with one 10 gb file...
