Hi everyone, I'm planning to install Proxmox on a Solid State Drives/NVMe E3.S SSD/7.68TB-RI-2.5Inch and I'm looking for advice on the best practices for this setup. Are there any specific considerations I should be aware of when using this type of SSD with Proxmox? Any recommended...

My not too old Crucial 4TB SSD running Proxmox Backup Server (Debian) regularly returns email telling me there is 1 bad sector pending. I'm not sure if it is causing the ext4 fs to become read-only, and hard crash the server, unpredictably. Below is the output from smartctl. Should I get...

I'm learning by doing, so apologies if I've missed some basic steps or information. I have a three node cluster made up of Lenovo ThinkCentres (M900 TFF) that I got from a friend after his work decommissioned them. They've been working great, but only came with 128GB SSD SATA drives, which...

Hallo zusammen, ich habe mir neulich einen Proxmox eingerichtet und kenne mich noch nicht so gut aus mit allen Themen. Ich habe bisher einige LXCs und VMs und würde auch gerne meine Fotos und Videos auch im lokalen Netz verfügbar machen. Im Moment habe ich eine 5TB USB Hard-Drive wo wir...

Hello everyone, We have a brand new Dell T560 server with four RAID 1 arrays on a Dell PERC 11 card. Three of the RAID pools are SSD based, and the other one is a mechanical 7200 RPM based. About 3 weeks ago we started getting these messages in regards to one of the SSDs with SMART errors...

i would like to update my nas with a "server" i was thinking to still having the nas as storage device and the new server would be the workforce that will use the nas to store the data, i was thinking to have proxmox installed on a crucial mx500 500gb sata ssd (and maybe some iso) and i was...

This been first deployment using raid1 using wd red ssd (not the best tier but would never expect such a quick wear out). Server been up for 75 days with wear out at 30% already (almost .5 % per day). Purpose of those drives was primary OS (only) but they also hold couple (11) virtual...

Hello, I wanted to clarify things in my head because I am unsure how to go about doing a new installation of Proxmox. Basically, in a few months, I am going to upgrade my server and thus do a fresh install of Proxmox on a brand new SSD. Most if not all components of the server will be...

Hey, Just built a small home lab and I'm new to Proxmox VE. I have 3 SSDs in my small server (with 8 GB RAM, will upgrade to 16GB eventually). 1x 256GB SSD (on a slow SATA3 port) 2x 1TB SSD (both on a faster SATA6 port) One of the VMs is going to be a TrueNAS and the other one using docker...

I intend to configure a storage pool, based on a ZFS-RAID of 6 x 2TB disks, to be used by various thin-storage containers on it. I read about adding a (SSD)cache-disk to my ZFS pool to speed up all drives?! Don't know if this is really a good practice. Do you have some recommendations to me...

Hi I just installed PBS and I really love it, however currently due to my raid config on my ZFS datastore I only have roughly 4TB space for backups (Just using about 200GB) No I have one VM that servers as my NAS where I passed through a full disk (4TB SSD (Roughly 400GB used)), now I'd like to...

Hello, a year ago when I was setting up my server, I had initially set it up with proxmox and couldn't get it to work successfully and instead flashed and booted Ubuntu Jammy 22.04. However, as I was looking through my disks/volumes, I am only able to use 100gb of my 2tb SSD and unable ot use...

Hello! Thank you for reading my post! I'm creating my first Windows 11 VM on Proxmox and I was wondering what are the best settings for the storage? I want it to be fast so I'm looking for the settings that would provide the best performance. I'm using a DRAM-less SSD to store the disk of the...

This is a short tutorial how to update the firmware of Samsung's consumer SSD/NVME drives in Proxmox. !! CAUTION !! Upgrading firmwares is always a risk! Before proceeding, make sure - to backup your VMs which are located on the target drive(s) - stop all your VMs/LXCs which are located on...

Hello, I would like to do a RAID5 with 4 2TB SSDs in SATA or SAS. Do you have any “enterprise”/”server” models to recommend? I saw the Samsung PM883 model but I don't know if it is the best choice and if it is still relevant Thanks

I want to clone my current SSD (Ubuntu) to an external HDD, then install Proxmox on the SSD, then create a VM in Proxmox with the cloned drive transferring the clone to the VM. Is this possible with Proxmox? I'm new to Proxmox, still learning.

Hey, I looked around a lot before but I'm still quite confused. I have an HP EliteDesk I wanna use for a bit of data backup (probably TrueNAS or OpenMediaVault), photo storage, self-hosted music and maybe Jellyfin. For that I bought two 2TB NVMe drives. Now, I'm guessing I want to run this in a...

What is the impact of PVE hard disk wearout 100%? How is the wearout value calculated and is there any basis for it?

Let's say I have a Proxmox system with a 8 TB VM (to store all my data, e.g. photos, videos, music etc.) on a 8 TB SSD How much storage would a backup server need to back that VM up? Would another 8 TB SSD suffice? Or do the backups require even more space? (I don't need to keep multiple...
