I'm going to be having the Solidworks guy come out and do a 'supported' install of the PDM environment - so that means I can have the full support structure as I go. . . from that point of view, my current Windows Server setup has the main OS drive and a dedicated pair of 2tb HDDs for the actual PDM vault. I'd like to replicate that as closely as possible as I know it works. The 2x 1TB NVME drives with Proxmox and the Server VM (100GB at present) will be great for the OS, so it's just creating that 'D-drive'
From your suggestion I think it is sounding like setting all 8x 2TB NVMEs drives up to all pass through to TrueNAS and then look at setting up 2TB of that via iSCSI for the Drive is the way to go.

Thanks 🙂

So you want these drives to “live in” the windows VM? Or do you want them to be attached via a network share? If you want them to live “inside” windows, pass them through to windows. If you want them to be networked, pass them to truenas, then you can either present them as SMB shares, or if you want that windows VM to have much faster access (but out that VM to have access), you can use iSCSI. If you don’t know at that is, look it up, this may be helpful.
 
Sounds like only a portion of the 8 NVMe drives you want for windows. If so, you should pass all of this to truenas, and use iSCSI to allow windows block level access to a certain amount of space, and then share the rest via SMB network shares. Also…. You really, really do not need Plex or anything remotely like Plex to live on SSD, none the less NVMe. You are paying a massive price premium for 0 benefit. 
 
Hopefully this is helpful and helps you start looking in the right directions. 

Shoutout to the one tech youtuber who has managed to keep out of the drama.

Idk why, I just paused at the right moment I guess 😂😂😂

I'm confused ^^
 
Popped up like this in my notification bar
 
EDIT: watched both now, no more confusion =)

Thank you ladies for all that you do to enrich our tech lives!

Don't know if this is a linus meme but I bought an old server today to practice setting up VSphere remote desktops and maybe didn't get the best price but still a the price was pretty nice.

Linus did say "multi win" at one point during yesterday's WAN show, so this is the only logical conclusion:

WELP... IT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN.
😆

The tec talk video today made me think of this not a linus meme but if you watched the video you'll get it

I did not know Linus got to meet the Beatles.

way too good not to share

and with that this event has come to a close, thank you to everyone who got involved, feel free to talk more over on the folding community thread. 
 
@leadeater @TVwazhere or any other mod, can you please lock this thread now. 

Yeah it was great to spend time with my dad, a few beers and a pizza. What's not to like 

Did what I could.  Thankfully things kept running while I was gone, and some preloading helped early on when I couldn't really run much with people sleeping next to things.  I *THINK* I should hit my goal of 1m points for the event, which is a new high for me by a lot (still CPU only folding for me).  LONG LIVE THE FOLD!

Well I decided to fold on a rig I'm giving to a friend instead of testing it today.
 
Dedicating two whole Haswell cores and a GTX 760 (that I'm glad still functions) to hopefully get me an additional 100k in a few days time! 😆

I accept your challenge.
 
 

Sorry we can't count you in because you get so many points, and we can't count that high 😄
