Advice for Proxmox & storage

[jafi]

I'm moving from unraid to proxmox, but need advice with the storage.

• 2 x 4TB HDD
• 1 x 1TB NVME
• 1 x 256GB NVME
• 1 x 128GB SSD

I would like to use proxmox for VM (Windows 10 for gaming), docker containers and network storage. For VM & docker I need speed. There is mixed information about ZFS cache. There is also talk about ZFS & LVM cache.

I would like to use 128 GB SSD for proxmox. 2 x 4TB HDD as mirror? But what about those two NVME-drives? What is the "best way" to use those so I have everthing backed up, but also run VM & docker from NVME, not from HDD.

Thank you for any advice.

Id use that 128gb ssd for bootup.

Id proably put these together in Zfs and use them for vms + containers.

2x4TB in ZFS (mirror) with 256GB NVME as ARC2 cache

1x1TB NVME as 'fast' storage

128GB SSD - proxmox
