I did a bunch of research when I was putting together my Proxmox server, and ended up going with (prices Amazon 10 months ago - although they seem unchanged):

- 7x TEAMGROUP MP44 - 2TB $159 - reasonably priced, 7400MB/s
- 1x TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Z540 - 1TB $176 - 12,400MB/s using cache

with the MP44s being the RAID, and the Z540 being boot, swap, and some ZFS-optimization-thingy

I've been very happy with them, though this machine is 700% overpower for what I actually need.
