Hey folks, I’m at my wits end. I’ve been screwing with proxmox for years now, but I’m at a tipping point. I’ve just used consumer SSDs in it to run my VMs off of - but I just realized after a dozen or so crashes over the last week that I think the SSDs are the culprit. (Really, really terrible write speeds leading to kernel crashes I believe).
I’ve never gotten an enterprise SSD, if that’s even what I need. Any recommendations? New? Used? Brands?
Appreciate it
Got it. So I’m thinking my ZFS is what killed these poor drives, who didn’t sign up for that sort of life. I think short term I’ll run over to best buy and get a decent 1 or 2 TB drive to migrate things to just to keep it running (and not use ZFS). From what I’m reading on other forums - yeah ZFS was the killer here.
Long term, maybe enterprise drives, or really deciding if my app server even needs a pool. I did that last time as a “I don’t want to run out of storage for a while” but I’m seeing 4TB drives now for a few hundred bucks. Not cheap, but much cheaper than the 2k they were just a few years ago. I don’t store anything on the app servers, just containers and vms.
