It is currently running a P420i and I put it in HBA mode so a natively loaded OS (Proxmox/TrueNAS) can see all 25 drives without being RAID'ed. Not sure how easy it is to find a LSI PCIe HBA to take in all 25 bays. I have an HP D元80Gen8 with 25 drive bays. ![]() Some follow-up questions/comments after digestion: Thank you all for your reply and suggestion. Plex runs fine in a container in Proxmox. I have no experience of Open Media Vault. You can do all if that in Proxmox too but typically requires a bit more work and custom setup. What you lose are some of the nice built-in features of TrueNAS, for example automatic/periodic snapshots, backup to cloud or synchronization of ZFS snapshots to remote site, monitoring. And is a simpler setup so one less thing to go wrong. That gains you some efficiency as the hypervisor gets native access to the ZFS pool (as opposed to having to go through a network layer). ![]() The other option is to skip TrueNAS altogether and let Proxmox itself be your NAS. TrueNAS Scale (currently in alpha or beta) *may* work, but I wouldn’t do it myself, much too likely that something will go wrong. In any case you can’t run TrueNAS in a Container as it’s FreeBSD based, not Linux. You may be able to pass through the controller on the motherboard too, depending. Some people do that by running the disks on a PCIe HBA which is then passed through to TrueNAS running in a VM. If you are going to use TrueNAS, it wants low-level access to the disks so you should pass them through, or actually ideally the whole controller. What should I use? TrueNAS? Or something else like Open Media Vault? Do I make it a VM or Container?Īs for Plex, I believe a Container running the Plex server is sufficient? While I'm in the asking mode, I'll also ask the following questions:Ĭan VM access Proxmox ZFS natively? Can Container access Proxmox ZFS natively? I'm guessing I should let Proxmox "own" the SSD ZFS pool, and I'll put my VMs and Containers there? The HDD ZFS pool will be my data pool, where I'll store all my media, and my file shares (as NAS.) Should I install TrueNAS and passthrough the HDDs to TrueNAS? Or should Proxmox create the HDD ZFS pool? If so, how will the NAS and Plex have access to the Proxmox HDD ZFS pool? I can think of many ways to skin the cat, but which way is the most efficient (best performance)? Looking for advise on how that should be setup, from a storage perspective and VM/Container perspective. I'd like to install Proxmox as the hypervisor, and run some form of NAS software (TRueNAS or something) and Plex. ![]() I have sufficient disks to create an HDD ZFS pool and a SSD ZFS pool, as well as a SSD/NVMe for boot drive.
