NAS for VM storage

[eppo120]

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

Choosing the right hardware for a high-performance NAS, especially when you want to optimize bandwidth for running virtual machines and Docker over 10GbE, requires careful calculation and consideration of every detail. From choosing a CPU, a motherboard with enough PCIe slots for network cards and NVMe SSDs, to deciding on the right RAM capacity and type... Everything needs to work together for the system to run smoothly and efficiently.

This reminds me of the game Geometry Arrow. To achieve a high score, you also need to accurately calculate the shooting angle, the force of the shot, and predict the trajectory of the arrow. Just a small mistake in choosing the angle or timing, your arrow can miss the target. Both building a powerful NAS system and playing Geometry Arrow require precision, meticulousness, and a bit of strategy to achieve the best results."
