I have a new server I will be using for a windows desktop and gaming VMs and I just want to confirm I am correct in the setup. If I have 4 nvme slots 2x pcie5x4 and 2x pcie4x4, I plan on running proxmox with mirrored pcie4 and use the windows vms on each of the pcie5 nvmes to take advantage of the insane pcie5 speeds. I am assuming proxmox wont really be much different but the windows experience might be improved especially with gaming.
If I was planning on running the vms on the proxmox storage I would imagine it would be an improvement to run proxmox on pcie5 but I don't plan to on that device, it's still going to have the max speeds of nvme4 as I picked good drives(t500 and 990pro).
