I'm in the process of building a new home server as my current one is aging. And because we have 2023 I decited to go the solid state drive way only by using 8* U.2 NVMe drives (8TB each, Enterprise Class) with a Supermicro X13SEM-TF and a W3-2435 CPU with 256 GB of DDR5 Registered ECC. Also, I plan to use Proxmox PVE and now it comes to the various options for storage.
- ZFS RAIDz2 seems to be best regarding efficiency and data protection
- BTRFS RAID10 could be best for performance but I'm not sure if this is a point with my setup
- MDRAID5 like I did for the past 8 years with my HDD setup
- Single-Node Ceph sounds odd to me, any thoughts?
- Did I miss something?
Please share your thoughts.
Going with two storage tiers is an interesting option for heavy io workload. I'll take this into consideration.
