Hello everyone,

I recently watched a video from patrick 9 steps to easy recovery which lead me to this forum.
We are about to move away from our cpanel environment to a proxmox setup.

The new server (Advance-3) from OVH
-------------
Processor: Intel Xeon-D 2141I - 8c/ 16t - 2.2GHz/ 3GHz
Memory: 32GB DDR4 ECC 2133MHz
Storage: 2x500GB SSD NVMe Soft RAID

This will be a single server setup, we are a pretty small company hosting 15-25 websites / emails.
we have the funding to increase: 64GB ram or drive setup of 2x4TB HDD SATA Soft RAID + 2x500GB SSD NVMe Soft RAID

Current Cpanel stats:

Memory Used18.13% (5,980,528 of 32,994,736)

/home/home10% (282,050,172 of 2,863,476,216)


I feel we would benefit more from additional drives for more raid redundancy?
Being our first proxmox box I would really appreciate your input. we will be running ZFS, Iv read that more memory is better but the stats above from my current server I feel that 32gb should be plenty for ZFS to work from?

*edit
Since talking to OVH they arent willing to add any additional drives that arent listed under there configs just point you to there more expensive servers.


Thanks in advance.
