A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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.
