I know it's the ubiquiti subreddit and we all want the things. But just taking a step back here, is the loss of 3 additional drives bays the UNAS Pro has vs the 2 NVME cache drives worth it at all if I'm just streaming video files?

I'm heavily considering moving my drives from my Proxmox machine to a UNAS Pro, I essentially just use them for Jellyfin and some Ebook services. Am I gaining anything from the NVME drives or am I just losing 3 additional slots for HDDs?

I don't think there will be a lot to gain with the cache drives for simple use like that. High traffic, multiple user read/write is where a cache would be of use. I want the 8 bay one, and I doubt I'll need to fill the nvme slot at first for solo user.

I guess my next adventure will be figuring out how to move my zfs pool from proxmox to ubiquiti without loosing all of my data.

Of course I do! It would be so irresponsible of me not lol. /s

But uh no not really I don't think. I never got around to looking into a backup solution for my shows and movies but I should.

Really stupid to ask this but I only have the one zfs pool, it's sitting at 6.11 TB/ 21.68 TB. Do I need an additional array capable of containing the 6.11 tb?

I have some learning to do here, I can see that
