Does anyone have any real word experience with Dell PowerEdge T560 using 1.92TB SSD's - these are 24Gbps 2.5" SSD drives via a PERC H965i controller (RAID6 as underlying volume). I'm looking for any gotcha's or aversions. The workload would be Windows Server 2019/21 with an RD Server and Exchange/Office/Sage (nothing out of ordinary). These are currently running on ESXi 8 so plan would be to suck those in via Proxmox DC Manager.

Ideally would like to know what performance expectations there would be e.g. VirtIO drivers, the PERC controler and Proxmox 8.3 - insofar as I'm wondering if there's any performance downsides especially in initial config of Proxmox - which, I'm guessing, would see controller fine but would there be any bottlenecks by via Windows (I don't expect so) or the RAID/PERC controller provisioning and usage by Proxmox.

Many thanks.
