Move from ProxMox to Unraid as Hypervisor?


Recommended Posts

I"m rebuilding my home lab setup and am thinking about possibly moving from ProxMox as my hypervisor over to Unraid and wondering if anyone has any input on performance between the 2.

 

Currently, I run Proxmox and than have a VM (with plop) for Unraid along with a pass thru of HBA to unraid.   It all works fine.  And then I have containers for Plex and few other things.

 

I currently run ProxMox in a Raid 1 on two 2TB SSD drives. And I would move those SSD's to the cache on unraid if I make the change.

 

So If I were switch to using Unraid as the 'hypervisor',  and then dockerize Plex and others, will I see an improvement? I'm mainly interested in how Plex may work dockerized in Unraid vs a Plex Proxmox container that has SMB shares to the VM Unraid.

 

I am working mainly with existing hardware and currently have a max of 32gb ram in the server.

 

Thanks,

PT
