New server, two 1 TB drives, best options?

[Pratt]

1. would like to host at least 2 VMs, 1 for my debian based PBX and 1 for something to run Plex Media Server
2. Have two fresh new 1 TB SATA drives
3. I assume I need to install proxmox first to one of the drives
4. What is best way to configure the drives so that the plex VM has access to the file system. I would like mounts for /Videos /Photos, etc

Best using NFS shares?
Best using LVMs?

Would someone mind guiding me through best idea?

Do you want to use RAID1? If so, you can only use ZFS to get that without buying a hardware raid controller. (or you can fiddle around with software raid, but only if you know how to setup debian).

Do you want to have "real" VMs (KVM) or "just containers" (LXC). In the later case, you can bind-mount directories if you like, yet why do you want to have the data outside or your VM/container?
