Hi
I will do a fresh install since the previous Install was just to test. It is a single Server.
There is an (now) Broadcom Raid Controller who is just a "JBOD". In front there are different Brand Sata SSD with 960GB each.
Sorry I cant remember how much 10 or so?!

Internal there are 1TB M2 Sata WD Red SSDs. Maybe 6? The are running truth the Raid Controller to.
Sadly I dont have more internal Sata Ports so 2 addional of the WD are connect to the Server Internal Ports.

For Proxmox I got 2 WD Blue for the Sata Ports where the should go.

The PCI-E Sata are a total different Topic I will use them as cache or so.

How to format them and what format?

Thanks!
 
Your message is hard to understand.

If all discs are separate (JBOD/no RAID) I think ZFS is the best option.

10 x 960GB SSD - ZFS RAIDZ You must set up notifications and make sure they work. RAIDZ can have one disc fail but not two. RAIDZ2 can have two discs fail but not three.

Two (or six) x 1Tb SSDs - if its two then a mirror, otherwise RAIDZ.

You already have a lot of storage and it is all SSD. WD Blue is a spinning disc and will use more electricity than SSD. I recommend you get rid of them.
