Hey everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm looking to install Proxmox on my Minipc for the first time. My hardware specs are 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB NVME drive. I plan to use Proxmox for Plex (in LXC containers), a few other LXC containers, and 2-3 virtual machines (Windows/Linux).
Unfortunately, I'm inexperienced with partitioning.

Unfortunately, I'm inexperienced with partitioning.
- I'd like to use the ZFS file system (unless someone recommends otherwise). Which ZFS Raid should I use? Data safety is not so important to me. If I lose them I'll install and configure again.
- I want to divide the 512 GB as follows: 64 GB for PVE + ISOs (for a maximum of 2-3 ISO images, and 64 GB should be enough for the system). The second partition would be for VMs and LXC. I've seen options during installation in the GUI, but I have no idea what to set there (hdspace, ashift, copies, checksum, compress). Could someone provide me with recommended settings? If a single NVME drive turns out to be insufficient, do I have the option to add a 128 GB SSD via USB.
