 ### Storage
 
-I don't have massive storage needs, I could use a NAS in the next future, but here the storage break down:
-- 256GB 
+While I don't have massive storage requirement, I still needed a flexible setup to either store my homelab workload and my photos,
+
+
+that was **reliable, fast, and flexible** enough to support my workloads. I don’t run large media libraries or host massive datasets, so I focused on a minimal yet efficient storage layout.
+
+Each Proxmox node is equipped with a **256GB SATA SSD** for the operating system, ISO files, and VM/LXC templates. For my workload storage, I added a **1TB NVMe drive** per node, which forms the basis of my **Ceph cluster**. This gives me distributed, redundant, and high-performance storage for VMs and containers, which allows live migration and high availability across the cluster.
+
+Originally, my first node had two **1TB HDDs** installed internally for bulk storage. To free up space and improve airflow, I moved them outside the case using **USB-to-SATA adapters** and reconnected them to the same node. These drives now store my **photos, personal documents, and backups**—less performance-critical data that doesn’t need to sit on Ceph.
