Ok, thanks James, Juan. Given my budget, I think I'll switch to using a single 3TB drive in each node, but add an extra 1GB Intel network card to each node and bond them for better network performance. Also I will be adding a third proxmox node for quorum purposes - it will just be a Intel NUC, won't be used for running VM's (though it could manage a couple).
