I don't have a cluster, so I will look into that. I have been thinking if there is really any need for the PVE installed to be on an SSD? - I have my VMs on SSDs isn't that all that really matters?

That is a pretty smart idea ... So if I use only 60GB of my 120s they will last longer? - such a good idea.

OK - I may need to change my main installation media then, I have installed PVE on a 120GB cheapo SSD :/

Thanks for your response Tom. - I bought a really cheap drive that only has 181 TDW, again it is not mission critical. How much data would you expect Proxmox to write each day? - Is there a way to monitor this within Proxmox? ( maybe check the wear on SSDs or drives in general ) Thanks again :)

Hope everyone's day is going well, just a quick question. I've been trying to find out about how Proxmox handles SSDs. There are various posts from years ago mentioning that Proxmox kills SSDs with the amount of read and write cycles on SSDs. Is this still the case? I run a homelab Proxmox...
