Awesome! Thank you for your input. This makes sense.

Hi, I'm building a new storage server with some HDDs I have laying around. The server will run Proxmox as a host OS and have Unraid VM run on it. Ubraid will be passed a PCIe HBA controller card for the storage drives but will most likely have only 2 HDDs of 8TB (SMR) and 6TB (CMR). What file system would best suit these 2 drives, assuming the intention is to maximize storage capacity (btrfs, ext4, etc.)? Or is it a good idea to go with Unraid at all in this case? This NAS is meant to be a backup NAS for another system that has more redundancy than that. I know it's a bad idea to have no parity, but if I were to go that route, which file system would be best to let the drives work for as long as possible without torturing them with scrubs (zfs) or rewrites of all kinds? Any info is appreciated, Thanks! -Sergey.
