Hi

I have been given a server by my company and need to setup proxmox on it, we have 2 already working great in our enviroment but i wanted to see how you lot would set up my drives to give me an idea of the best way of doing it.

I have

1 x 900gb
2x 2tb
2 x 4tb
2x 16tb

the server spec is DL 360 with 256gb memory and 8173m x2 prcoessors

what i was thinking was this

2x 2tb (proxmox installs with iso's storage in raid 5)
2 x 4tb (Vms = linux web server maybe 2 with nothing heavy, 1 server 2022 with no more than 10 pcs connecting to it for basic tasks and a few windows 11 vms) in raid 5
2x 16tb to back up the above in raid 5
not sure what i would use the 900gb for yet

Thanks for reading.
