ok, so i am looking to do 2 striped arrays.
array 1)
2 x intel 120GB ssd's
will be used for things like my WSUS storage and a few other VM's that wont need alot of storage for their specific tasks
array 2)
3 x 6TB WD Red's
see the story of how i got here down below
already have my data on them from my windows 10 server that i was running at home for data backups etc...
ok, so i came to proxmox as i had a system running windows 10 as my NAS, its located in my shed, away from my house. the drives were configured in STRIPED mode in windows, just using the inbuilt partition manager (yes, i understand all the risks of striped raid) the server is a 1 : 1 backup of my data striped array on my desktop, and i have another completely offsite system at a friends house that sync'd daily. so i feel that i have plenty of redundancy and the backups covered. having the drives as a stripe was only for speed, as having my data backed up as triplicate is redundant enough i think.
i wanted to experiment with PFsense, and some other things, so i concluded that proxmox would be the best fit for me, so, i went about installing it onto my server (on another drive, i still have the windows one working) and i created a PFsense VM, ant its humming along nicely. but my issue now is the windows one, i can get windows running nicely, but i cant get the disks to pass through. they are formatted in NTFS (i would speculate) so i am wanting to directly pass through the 3 RED drives to that VM, so i ca import the array, and then that will hum along as it used to.
but that dosen't seem to be the case, unless i have missed something. so, from what i can gather, i will have to format the drives and make a ZFS array with them? or is there another solution to my setup?
basically my end goal is to have the 3 x REDS pushed through to the Windows 10VM for my NAS just like it used to be. and if i can do that withough having to sync all the data back over, that would be peachy.
cheers
