As a follow-up, I've reworked based on your suggestions. I'm believing that its better offsite and remote backups rather than raid 1. I've also increased the RAM to 64GB (non-ECC). Not sure whether to go for the ASUS thin client rather than the RPis Comments welcomed.

The Unify controller is for the APs not for the switches. Thanks for your suggestion. No money is not of a surplus, I just need to do the bare minimum so not wasting any money. Switches I aim for Tp-Link - been a loyal customer of theirs and very well served. Too late. I already have the 6700T...

Thanks a lot for your patience and guidance. Do you think NAS drives 5200 rpm would be better than 7200 rpm desktop for my use case? Something like WD red plus or Seagate ironwolf? They are both CMR. With regards to the one at my sister's I think that can be seen a desktop version since it will...

Thanks @Dunuin for your reply. I will look further for Intel NICs. I was suggested that it's better to use virtual NICs for pfSense rather than passthrough. That means that the SR-IOV is not strictly necessary, right? Was thinking of swapping the motherboard to an Asus P10S-WS which is a...

So your recommendation is to go for option 1. And the remote backup will be a Raspberry Pi or H2+ with Debian on it and ssh into it with rsync?

Hi, I am setting up my Proxmox environment. Was thinking of the below: Proxmox VE server i7 & 32GB Ram / 1x 256 M.2 SSD LVM Cache / Software raid: 2 x 6TB 7200rpm desktop 3.5" disks (mirrored) - LVM ext4 / 1x512 M.2 SSD ext4 for VMs Options: Run PBS as a VM on the i7 and use a Raspberry Pi /...

So given my hardware, it's best that I stick to LVM as I proposed originally, right? With regards to passthrough NICs, you suggest that I pass them as virtual NICs. I am finding having second thoughts about whether I should go for an INTEL NIC chipset. But that means more expensive. Is it worth...

Hi Warning: newbie post below - trying to sort out my head on Proxmox I am currently building the parts for my home server. These are the specs I am currently looking at (fyi: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/CrtmnL ): CPU: Intel Core i7-6700T 2.8 GHz Quad-Core OEM/Tray Processor...
