RAM: Crucial Pro DDR4 RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) 3200MHz
HDD: 4TB ironwolf NAS drives * 2
NVME SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2
How I'm planning my setup:
The existing 256 GB NVMe will host Proxmox.
The new 1 TB NVMe will be for VM's & LXC's
The 4TB ironwolf NAS drives will be configured in a mirror and will be used as a NAS (Best way to do this?) as well as for bulk data from my services, like recordings from Frigate.
Services:
Home Assistant (Currently running on a pi4)
Frigate (Currently running on a pi4)
Pi hole (Maybe, already running on an OG pi)
Next cloud (Calendar, photos)
TailsScale
Vaultwarden
Windows 11
My follow on projects will be:
Setup PBS to back up my Host(proxmox-backup-client), VMS & LXC's
I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that I was thinking to use for PBS in the short term, but will eventually move it to something like an n100 mini PC.
I will also setup a second NAS(TrueNAS most likely, bare metal) to back up the 4TB ironwolf NAS.
This is my first proper homeLab, having mostly tinkered with Raspberry Pi's and Arduino's up to this point, any advice on my setup would be really appreciated.
Yes the mirrored drives will be SATA, what do you mean by back off on the cost though?
I read somewhere on a reddit post that someone added an extra fan, I think it might have been a G4, but I think the same mod would be applicable for a G6, I'll definitely keep it in mind, thanks.
