    Proxmox USB/SD Card Boot Recommendations?

    Agree with @guletz, The SD cards can work, as far as i know, with ESXi. But when it comes to Proxmox - this is basically Debian. And it does write a lot of data on the system partition. When it comes to the question of quality and technology used to produce the SD card, think that regardless...

    CPU/core/thread terminology, and best allocating resources in a limited setting

    Best practice - zfs (ssd, optane, spinning disk)

    Hey! From the 2 options - the first one clearly makes more sense. What i'd personally try is having as many VMs on the PCIe SSD as possible. If i were you, i'd probably sell the Optane drive and go for a bigger and bit older enterprise PCIe drive, that'd be 1.2 - 2.4TB. As a couple of side...
