Hi,
After swapping out my data storage disks, I'm swapping out my VM storage for something quicker.
Currently debating between:
I have about 30 VM's (and plan to expand), ranging from SQLServer / MariaDB / Plex / Wordpress & Flask websites. This is a homelab/hobby thing, so not production.
Any recommendations (been reading through the forum and it didn't help hehe - e.g. fusion = cheap, fast, but uses a lot of power).
4x S3500 (Storage Spaces Dual Mirror (raid 10'ish) + REFS) would be cheaper than the 1x 1.6TB P3605...
