Hi all,
I'm quite new to Proxmox, so it would be great to get your input on the following. I'm planning to install PVE on an intel NUC (NUC11ATKC4), but I'm unsure about the best way to store the OS and the VMs.
The NUC has one internal M.2 SSD slot, which currently holds a 256GB drive. In addition, it has 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (10 Gbps) which can be used to connect external disks. As the 256GB disk is probably a bit small for both the PVE OS and the VMs, I thought to buy a new 1TB M.2 SSD. To be able to still use the 256GB disk, I could buy an external case and put one disk in the NUC and connect one via USB. That being said, 1TB should probably be enough for the OS and the VMs, so I could also just only use the new 1TB drive.
In short, I see three options for storing the OS and the VMs
Option 1:
Which of the above options would you pick in my situation? Is there an even better solution that I haven't considered?
Many thanks for your help!

In short, I see three options for storing the OS and the VMs
Option 1:
- Internal 1TB: OS and VMs
- Internal 256GB: OS
- External 1TB: VMs
- External 256GB: OS
- Internal 1TB: VMs
