Hi,
TL:DR; Looking for relatively cheap 6-8 bay altrnatives to UPRO-Nas that would give better storage flexibility and 10gbe ethernet. Rack mount is a plus.
Looking for something similar to a UNAS-Pro - a fairly simple, relatively cheap NAS with 10gbe ethernet. Bigest drawback of the UNAS-Pro is lack of configurability of storage/storage pools. I have 4x 10tb drives and 4x 8tb drives, which is enough for what I want to store. I would rather run 2 pools with the flexibility to have more redundancy for important files on one pool, and more space in the other pool for Linux ISOs and other files which I could afford to lose.
I do have a "NAS motherboard", which would be well suited for TrueNAS/Unraid, but it is also a fairly powerful board which I would rather dedicate to compute workloads, rather than running compute + nas on the same hardware. I would like to run proxmox to host different compute options, and running TrueNAS/Unraid as a VM within the proxmox host has some undesirable limitations.
