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?

Ouch…got it. Thanks

On eBay they all seems to be coming from China at about 30$ with cables (although they are the 8087 and not 8086), could they be clone? In Europe (where I live) they costs about 60€.
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)?

Interesting, I’ll have a look on how to flash the IT mode. Thanks!

You can pass them as individual drives too.

Honestly I would get a pcie sata controller card. It is fairly inexpensive and doesn’t tie up the controller on the motherboard
What’s the advantage to using proxmox and virtualizing TrueNAS in your use case?
I’m looking to setup a TrueNAS box mostly as a file server (I have a bunch of spare drives sitting around, so I can duplicate locally and then backup to a cloud provider), but also as a docker host.
(I’m also researching some setups for friends businesses with the VMware debacle - they have a year to migrate).

Neat, thanks for the info.
Guess I need to read up on what Proxmox offers - I was focusing on TrueNAS as a simple all-on one, maybe Proxmox has something for me.
