Proxmox

Or When SAS Drives Bite Back Or Debugging Slow Burn-In Tests in a Proxmox/ZFS Homelab. The issue I hit during a burn-in process for cheap ex-datacenter SAS HDDs, what I assumed was happening, what was actually happening, and how I confirmed and fixed it

I cover the groundwork behind my ZFS storage strategy on Proxmox VE, including the hardware I am working with, how I balance performance, reliability, and capacity. The core ZFS concepts that influence my design and outline how different storage tiers serve different workloads in my homelab. This is less about “how to install ZFS” and more about planning thestorage architecture that fits my Proxmox workloads.
