I have a couple of home server, both with Proxmox as hypervisor, one VM with Ubuntu 22.04 that does just Docker containers, one with Open Media Vault, one with Home Assistant (HA OS) and a couple of Windows VM to do some tests. Since I wanted to move from OMV, right now I see 2 options:

  • stay with Proxmox and find another NAS OS
  • use Unraid as NAS and hypervisor

What other option would you suggest?

    Yeah, so the IT mode flash makes it just a JBOD controller, which is what truenas wants. It works with SAS and SATA. You’d need SFF-8086 to SATA cables. (One cable per 4 drives)

      Interesting, I’ll have a look on how to flash the IT mode. Thanks!

        It’s very easy to find them with IT mode already flashed so it’s plug-and-play.

          Cool! What’s your feeling about SnapRaid and MergerFS instead of RAIDz?

            If you’re using TrueNAS, use RAIDz. Doing anything else negates all the benefits of TrueNAS.
