Hello Jay,

Quick question what storage you use for your proxmox cluster? I’ve seen its freenas / truenas but whats the connection to the cluster?

For me, Truenas is used for backup. My Proxmox server has an internal NVME SSD, and my Truenas server has spinning rust disks. Even with a fast network connection to Truenas, I don’t expect the speed will compare with internal NVME on the server itself. The connection is just 1 gig Ethernet, I did have 10 gig at one time, but didn’t feel it was really benefiting me much. But lately, I’m thinking about testing 10 gig again. I won’t use Truenas for shared storage (again, internal SSD) but 10 gig was speed up my backups if nothing else.
