Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor I know, but I will rarely need a lot of performance, so I think these will suffice That's probably what it will come down to if I can't fix the big performance differences in the VM What would your expectations be? I've just done some more research and found...

Hi, I am currently testing my...

This will be a backup server, so yes, a few days of downtime would be acceptable. Which SAS PCIe card is actually recommended? (If relevant for this question, this card is to be used on a consumer mainboard with an Intel i750 CPU)

And what advantage do I have with this virtualized Ceph cluster with only one server? I have more of a problem with this when it comes to reliability. Thanks for the hint!

It's not a question of whether to get rid of the old PC or not, but whether to buy a new mainboard / CPU / RAM and install it in the old case, or buy a new Mini PC I actually come from Germany and 40W is definitely too expensive here. We currently pay around 0.33$/kWh, so that's 350kWh per year...

Thanks for the link. But to get better warranty support, I'm willing to pay the extra on Amazon. I also have an old case with space for a micro ATX mainboard. It currently has an approx. 10-year-old AMD mainboard installed, but this PC requires approx. 40W in idle mode. Proxmox is installed...

Hi, thanks for the answer again. Yes, I'll think about whether it's TrueNAS, something else, or just creating a ZFS pool manually. In the last case I will probably use Debian 12. What I still have to think about is the most efficient way to transfer the data from the primary server to the...

Hi @Sean Ho and all others. Sorry for the very late reply. I've had a lot of stress over the last few months But now the stress has been significantly reduced and I finally want to implement my backup concept. I have also thought about my requirements again and will probably not use Ceph for...

Hi, I would like to buy / build a PC to store backups from different smartphones / PCs. I will also install Proxmox on this PC, first of all to install the software that I will use to create the backups: Seafile. If the performance is sufficient, I will also create further VMs for e.g...

Hi, thank you for your answers. I forgot to mention that it should not be 4 hdds per server, but that I have a total of 4 hdds. Yes I am aware that I must have at least 3 servers. For the start it is planned to use one hdd and 1-2 nvmes per server. If needed I will add one more HDD, that...

Hello, I am looking for hardware for a Ceph cluster for private use. Initially, this should serve for learning and if it runs well, then this should be a stage of my backup concept. The servers should consume as little power as possible (I'm aiming for max 50W at idle) and should also not be...
