Preparing to build a VM server running Proxmox here in the nearish future (hopefully next 1-2 months). Trying to decide which NVME drives to use in the build. I'll have some rotational drives for bulk storage for the VM's, but for the actual OS images was planning on putting in 4 Intel NVME SSDs (striped mirrors in ZFS), but may need start with just two and add the other two later.
There are a lot of options out there, the Intel 750's looked good initially, but reading some comments here on STH forums they may not behave well for VM workloads. Looking at the P3600's and P3700's on ebay, seems like folks were getting better deals on them earlier this year, but there are some good prices that pop up from time to time. Intel has been rolling out some newer drives recently also curious if any of those may be better? The P3600's and P3700's have been out a while.
