I am using Proxmox 6.4 (latest) and initially i was using just a single SSD drive (using directory) method on the box. I now want to ensure that if the SSD dies eventually that I have redundancy. So I added 2 new Intel DC series SSD Drives are created a RAID-1 at the Raid Controller level. I had someone suggest that I should use ZFS (single) disk on the RAID-1, and wanted to get opinions on this!
I know there are benefits like snapshots, compression and other features if i use ZFS on a hardware RAID-1. Would you suggest I just stick to RAID-1 using a directory that is mounted onto the box and shared? or to use ZFS on the RAID-1 with single disk in the pool?
The box is an HP DL360 G8, with 384GB RAM, so has plenty of resources.
Currently each of my Virtualization hosts has about 50-60 KVM VM's running on the box.
