Hi,

I’ve been playing with a Dell mini PC (OptiPlex 7070) that I set up with Proxmox and a single Debian virtual machine that hosts a bunch of containers (mostly an *arr stack).

All the data resides on the single SSD that came with the machine, but I’m now satisfied with the whole ordela and would like to migrate my storage from my PC to this solution.

What’s the best approach software side? I have a bunch of HD in of varying size and age (therefore expected reliability) and I’d initiallt dedicate such storage to data I can 100% afford to lose (basically media).

I read I should avoid USB (even though my mini PC exposes a USB-C) for reliability, but on the other hand I’m not ruse what other options I have that doesn’t force me to buy a NAS or properly sized HD to install inside the machine…

Also, what’s a good filesystem for my usecase?

Thank for any tips.
