I have an old x86_64 computer which I am planning to use as a NAS. Which of the 2 is a better option? Is it helpful or better to run on bare metal or as a VM on proxmox?

    I have tried few of them but I highly recommend you to try UNRAID. It will introduce you to world of docker containers

      I run UnRAID myself as well. I don’t need raw performance, just stupid amounts of storage for my data hoard, and being able to slap in whatever disk has the best $:gb whenever I need to expand has been such a nice change.

      I do have a SSD pool to run my containers and separate one for drive caching as well.

      Isn’t it cheaper to use casaOS?
