Ya I realize this isn’t a great way to go about storage but I already have the enclosure so I might as well use it for now. At some point down the line I will build something that will work better.
If I connect it using USB I am able to see each drive individually in Proxmox. I am unsure if it will be the same if I use eSATA. In the manual it says that the eSATA interface card needs to support Port Multiplier which I fear means the eSATA to SATA option may not work but I was hoping someone here may know more about that.
If I have to go the USB route and I am able to use each drive individually, would you recommend going with a ZFS pool or ceph?
