Hey folks, I’m at my wits end. I’ve been screwing with proxmox for years now, but I’m at a tipping point. I’ve just used consumer SSDs in it to run my VMs off of - but I just realized after a dozen or so crashes over the last week that I think the SSDs are the culprit. (Really, really terrible write speeds leading to kernel crashes I believe).

I’ve never gotten an enterprise SSD, if that’s even what I need. Any recommendations? New? Used? Brands?

Appreciate it

    When looking at the drives, check the “disk writes per year”, as that will give an estimate of what the vendor thinks the life will be.

    Seagate brands some good ones. I had a few that went years and none failed. Samsung makes some PCI monsters which are likely overkill.

    I would only get new and register then ASAP for the warranty, or cheap from a trusted friend.
