hi pals!

I just got a desktop pc... is an old pentium Dual CPU E2200 2.20GHz with 4gb of ram and some time ago I wanted to make a backup system so...

I installed the last version of proxmox backup server and I put 6 old hdd of 1tb each, i take 1 hdd for backups of my VM's and CT's and i wanted to know if there is a way to pass/mount or share the remaining disks (5) to my synology VM that is hosted in my Proxmox VE and give use to those old disks and use them as storage volumes to save some movies?

I think we can all agree that a CPU from 2007 which does not support VT-x is not a good pick even for something that is just meant for education.

Yeah that's why I didn't try any virtualizacion just backup that's why I just would like to share those hdd to my Synology

4gb ram is a bit low, mb that supports 16gb or 32gb of cheap RAM are ideal because it is possible to max the ram with little money. How much ram does it support?

Im upgrading to 6gb that's the max and just for fun I've install proxmox PBS and it's working good hehe I just would like to share those disk to my Synology... 😊
