    So it will be the latter, as it will run nextcloud, a couple websites i have, a pihole and possible game servers when the need comes again. For the websites i plan on using the mass storage as a backup to the sites’ data, so the actual running files will stay on the ssd running the os, currently considering proxmox actually.

    for nextcloud i am not sure, since i use it to sync, and ‘backup’ (i know its not meant as a backup program), so it would need lots of random r/w, but it cant fit on the os ssd as that would get too large, currently only have a 250gb ssd on hand for the os.

    Id love to get ssds instead of mass storage hdds, but theyre simply 3 times as expensive for the same storage which is out of budget for me.



  • These all seem to be 7200rpm drives, would 5400rpm drives make a large difference in terms of longevity relative to that? Also seeing mixed results from seagate there, first they mention there being 0 failures of a couple seagate models, but then later in the graph of annualized failures, seagate in general has the highest failure rate
