Using the CD/DVD place or internally?
I do have 4 Microserver G10, but at clients, not at home.
I mounted the small ssd elsewhere inside, just with cable tie. This work for years now without any problemsâŠ
OK. I know you can also put a SSD in the DVD slot, if itâs not used.
I assume these Proxmox-NAS are all stand alone, not clustered with the others doing actual virtualizationâŠ
Actually, even for FreeNAS/TrueNAS, multiprotocoll locking (Actually working) still doesnât seem feasilble on most systems. Meaning: A share with NFS / CIFS and maybe AFP (Apple) will not support a lock from another sharing protocoll, meaning corruption can occur if several protocolls are usedâŠ
Eg: a Linux user accesses an XL file from his linux workstation with NFS. A Windows user wantâs to access the same file - and can do so, because for CIFS itâs not locked. So two users have r/w access to the same file - welcome race condition!
Even Windows canât really handle this very well.
The only system where this âworkedâ usable enough was Novell in my experience.
My 2 cents

Mine? My FreeNAS is in its own chassis, and uses a mix of 24 disks at present. About half of them (all the 8TB and 12TB disks) are shucked WD Elements disks, most (but not all) of which have a white label, but appear to be WD Reds. The remainder (4TB and 6TB) are a mix of WD Reds with a few Red Pros, Seagate Ironwolfs (Ironwolves?), and thereâs still one âwhite labelâ disk hanging in there (which Iâd never recommend).
Seagate Ironwolfs (Ironwolves?)
Tough one!
I think really linguistically correct would be âSeagate Ironwolf disksâ with the plural on the disks.
With âshucked WD Elementsâ do you mean SHR?
Any issues on your end with those? eg resilveringâŠ
Thx

Youâre probably right, and thatâs probably the more trademark-correct way to go too.
No, they arenât SMRâthough WD seriously screwed the public (and their reputation) with their recent move on the Red 2-6TB disks, anything larger is still CMR (and my Reds predate that idiocy). Shucking is the process of removing the bare drive from an external drive. Why do this? Well, because for some strange reason, external drives are often much less expensive. I bought six WD Elements external 12TB drives for $190 each. The WD Red 12TB is over $300 each. Removing the bare drive from the Elements enclosure is the work of a couple of minutes, tops. Yes, it voids the warranty (unless I RMA it back in its original case), but with that much of a cost delta I donât much care.

Hi
understand " Shucking" nowâŠ
Actually most HD companies give you a great price with their external disks, like Seagateâs Backup Hub Plus with 8 or 10 TB⊠(Iâm using 1 or 2 of these to Backup the whole NASâŠ)
The reason is simple: with their own sata adapter on a chip, they can calculate MTBF much more accurate, and this also allows for very slim calculations⊠

thanks for the tipsâŠneed to check, my hard disks have around 50 000 hours, time for a change soon
