Hi,
I'm running a little homeserver on a dell optiplex.
Since trying proxmox i'm just tinkering and trying more stuff![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Now i'm running ~30 containers, the root disk is a 256 gb ssd.
It's almost full, and for example for jellyfin transcoding remux 4k files (~70gb), i had to offload the transcoding to a storage ironwolf disk,
which in return resulted in a higher IO delay then i would like.
Now i'm looking to upgrade from 16gb ram to 32gb ram, and upgrade the ssd aswell.
The ssd proxmox is running on is just the one that came with the optiplex, and i'm noticing the wearout going up ~2% a month.
I would like to upgrade the ssd to WD Black SN770 1TB.
First i would like to ask if this is a good choice or are there beter alternatives at this pricepoint?
Note i'm the only user on my homeserver, so mostly there isn't really a high load.
Secondly, and most important, what would be the best way to upgrade that ssd without losing any data on the host?
I have a weekly backup of all my containers, but i would like to 'backup' the ssd aswell so everything stays as it is.
Thank u
