Thank you for the insight. I do want to at least test TrueNAS out (though I still haven’t decided whether to just run with that or run it inside Proxmox). Are you just using the ‘community edition?’

Yeah, I had mentally kind of crossed Unraid off the list from the things I’d seen around the various tech communities regarding them. Not to mention my main goal with this move anyway. I don’t have a problem paying for good software though, so I’ll at least do some more digging on them to make a more informed decision. I just wish there were other options for mix and match drives for people that have slowly been growing into the hobby! haha :( Thank you for commenting.

Thanks for commenting. I had forgotten that Unraid does have the option to mix and match drives ala SRH, which is definitely a big selling point for someone in my current position. I did recall seeing some in the industry express some hesitation with the platform as its not open source and has as good a chance to enshitify their product in the future as any of the other tech companies that have already done so. That caused me to kind of check them off the list since that’s what I am hoping to be getting away from with this migration. I will do some more digging on the company though. I have no problem paying for good software and maybe that ends up being the best route. Thanks again for the insight!

I will definitely check that out, thanks! Out of curiosity, since I don’t have the hardware to play with yet, do you know if you are able to use different sized drives with ZFS pools? I’ve seen that there have been some updates over the past year that should make expanding a ZFS pool doable now, do you know if that is the case? Thanks again for the insight :)

Understood. I do think Im going to start out with Proxmox and kind of feel things out from there. I am also definitely planning to finally bite the bullet and dive into Docker as a primary driver. I’ve heard lots of good things about it and from a technical standpoint it just makes a ton of sense. Thanks again for the input! :)

Yeah the Synology box is definitely going to be in the backup corner, and only there. Still running DSM 6.2 even, and that is never getting updated ;) Thanks for the input!

Very much agreed, that is exactly why I decided to just move on from them now. The writing is on the wall. Sorry for not including that info by the way! We all know what happens when you assume 😅

Thanks for the reply! I’ll admit, I’m not familiar with HBA cards. So I’ll definitely look into that.
As to the nesting you called out, I could see that being an issue. Would that be the case though if you’re doing basically everything through Proxmox and only using TruNAS for disk management? I’m not sure if you watched his video on the setup, but it at least seemed to be okay. I could be wrong about that though, so I appreciate the input.
