SATA or SSD for installing Proxmox?

[Henrique Freitas]

Hi everybody!

My question is the following, I use proxmox + ceph, all VMs are on Ceph.
I'm currently using SSD for Proxmox VE, and NVME for Ceph, if I replace the SSD with HardDisk SATA, will I lose performance on VMs?

Proxmox itself writes a lot of logs and graphs but reads very little (after booting). A HDD would probably be fine and last longer than a consumer SSD.
