Western Digital 250GB WD Red SN700 NVMe SSD, Internal Solid State Drive for NAS Devices - WDS250G1R0C-68BDK0

Great NVME for Channels DVR. After calculating Channels usage of 4.4GB per hour into 2PB I learned that the SN700 should be good for 454545 hours of recording or about 50 years of recording. I have found that access times are exceptional. Prior to this I had used HDDs for this purpose with my Mac Mini M2.

It's hard to rate something that's thrown into a Proxmox server and for the most part forgotten about. The fact that I don't have to think about it says it all. I'm able to install virtual machines, run them 24/7, and automate backups without an issue. I'm still an amateur with Proxmox, but it's been going strong for a few months now, with no issues to report. I did benchmark it Windows before installing Proxmox, but it's running in a Z97 system at PCIe X2. It performed well, but did not reach advertised speeds because of the bottleneck. I initially purchased this to start a Nextcloud instance, and tried a few different ways until I found it was easier to run in a virtual machine.
