I’m in the process of building a new home server as my current one is aging. And because we have 2023 I decited to go the solid state drive way only by using 8* U.2 NVMe drives (8TB each, Enterprise Class) with a Supermicro X13SEM-TF and a W3-2435 CPU with 256 GB of DDR5 Registered ECC. Also, I plan to use Proxmox PVE and now it comes to the various options for storage.

  1. ZFS RAIDz2 seems to be best regarding efficiency and data protection
  2. BTRFS RAID10 could be best for performance but I’m not sure if this is a point with my setup
  3. MDRAID5 like I did for the past 8 years with my HDD setup
  4. Single-Node Ceph sounds odd to me, any thoughts?
  5. Did I miss something?

Please share your thoughts.

    Going with two storage tiers is an interesting option for heavy io workload. I’ll take this into consideration.
