I'm currently looking for recommendations for hardware to use for a new NAS for my homelab.
I'm planning to set up 2 servers that will run XCP-NG. I would like for this NAS to be the shared storage for it.
Not only would I be running the VM's disks from this, I would also be setting up some docker volumes to run from it via NFS.
I would like to run 10GB SFP, and be able to max out the bandwidth with the storage in there. My thoughts were to use an SSD for TrueNAS, and use 2-M.2's in a mirror for the pool.
I really dont need a ton of storage on this, so I might use 2-2TB M.2's. I have a separate instance of Truenas that I use for archival type stuff.
So basically I want to ensure that my VM disk access is as fast as possible, and would not limit the speed of my VM's.
Please let me know if there are any extra details that I may have left out, or anything I would need to consider.
Thank you,
Joe
