Hi Everyone,
I’m putting together a new home-lab build and I want to try out Proxmox VE for the first time.
I’m looking for some advice on storage configurations for the boot drive and a drive to run the VMs from.
- What is your preferred configuration?
- Do you use NVMe or SATA SSDs for both, or strictly enterprise grade SSDs?
- How do you handle redundancy & Backus?
- Do you mirror either of those drives? If so, how? Is there a good software RAID (ZFS/Motherboard RAID) way to provide redundancy that also works for the boot drive?
Let me know your approach, and importantly, why you made the decisions you did.
Thank you!
