EliteDesk 800 G6 SFF setup (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi guys,

Just picked myself up an EliteDesk 800 G6 SFF:

Current specs:

CPU: i5-10500
RAM: 8 GB
NVMe SSD: 256 GB

My plan is to beef this up with:

RAM: Crucial Pro DDR4 RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) 3200MHz
HDD: 4TB ironwolf NAS drives * 2
NVME SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2

How I'm planning my setup:

The existing 256 GB NVMe will host Proxmox.

The new 1 TB NVMe will be for VM's & LXC's

The 4TB ironwolf NAS drives will be configured in a mirror and will be used as a NAS (Best way to do this?) as well as for bulk data from my services, like recordings from Frigate.

Services:

Home Assistant (Currently running on a pi4)
Frigate (Currently running on a pi4)
Pi hole (Maybe, already running on an OG pi)
Next cloud (Calendar, photos)
TailsScale
Vaultwarden
Windows 11

My follow on projects will be:

Setup PBS to back up my Host(proxmox-backup-client), VMS & LXC's

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that I was thinking to use for PBS in the short term, but will eventually move it to something like an n100 mini PC.

I will also setup a second NAS(TrueNAS most likely, bare metal) to back up the 4TB ironwolf NAS.

This is my first proper homeLab, having mostly tinkered with Raspberry Pi's and Arduino's up to this point, any advice on my setup would be really appreciated.

Yeah I might leave the pi-hole as is, really was just thinking to move it for backup convenience, but it's probably more of a headache (for the reason you mentioned) than it's worth.

It's been running on a first edition raspberry pi for years without a hiccup.
