Hi all

This is my first time using Proxmox and after watching a few videos I'm a little lost on how to setup my storage.
I have an old Dell 1U server that I've swapped out the cd drive for an SSD to host Proxmox.

The remaining 4 2TB drive's I'd like to setup as a ZFS share for everything else.
Min: RAIDZ1 / RAID5
As I don't want to have 1 drive just holding a few ISO and other bits.

I'd like to use it for a media share for keeping my photos and videos and hosting a few VM's
- linux test bed and Home Assistant for home automation.

It this possible, what is the best way to maximize my storage?

Thanks
