I have a couple of home server, both with Proxmox as hypervisor, one VM with Ubuntu 22.04 that does just Docker containers, one with Open Media Vault, one with Home Assistant (HA OS) and a couple of Windows VM to do some tests. Since I wanted to move from OMV, right now I see 2 options:
- stay with Proxmox and find another NAS OS
- use Unraid as NAS and hypervisor
What other option would you suggest?
Should I pass the whole controller? I have the Proxmox disk on the same controller, how do I do that?
You would need a separate controller.
Ouch…got it. Thanks
The LSI 9210 8i - IT mode is a great option and can be had for under $50.
Does it works with SATA drives and, most important: can it provides the single drives to the OS without RAID (since I would want to use a software RADI like RIADz)?
Yeah, so the IT mode flash makes it just a JBOD controller, which is what truenas wants. It works with SAS and SATA. You’d need SFF-8086 to SATA cables. (One cable per 4 drives)
