Don't forget that you need
a boot drive
storage for your VMs
data storage for results
For VM storage Raid 10 (mirrored vdevs) is strongly prefered over RAIDZ/5/6, because of the amount of transactions.
Do yourself a favor and get some enterprise NVMe drives. Consumer drives don't last very...
I was pleasantly surprised by the low power usage.
Some notes:
BMC power is about 6W (server switched off)
m.2 datacenter nvmes don't have a low power mode, so they consume about 5W when idle, whereas comsumer nvmes are less then 0.1W
It seems that the board and CPU can disable unused PCIe...
I second this: 7282 in Supermicro H12SSL-i 4x32GB, Seasonic PX-850, m.2 nvme running Proxmox.
- idle no VMs: less than 60W
- 4xHDD, Connect-X3, few VMs active, idling just about 90W
