Upgrading To a Next-Level Home Lab for Under $700

In this video, I’m upgrading my home lab to explore cutting-edge storage technologies like Gluster, CEPH, and NVMe-over-Fabrics (Liquid Storage). This proof-of-concept lab is designed to handle real-world workloads like 4K video editing directly off the network, leveraging the latest hardware and software innovations, but I don't want to spend a lot of money. I’ll also share the results of a fascinating benchmark comparison between FreeBSD and Linux for NVMe SSD performance, which could shape the future of my lab. Join me as I take my six-year-old lab to the next level with AMD Ryzen processors, ARM efficiency, and robust security upgrades. If you’re into lab builds, distributed storage, or just curious about what it takes to run a 4K video workflow off the network, this video is for you!

And looking at a benchmark on FreeBSD using BHyve which outperforms Proxmox... I think this might be one of the benchmarks: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/06/10/proxmox-vs-freebsd-which-virtualization-host-performs-better/
