I have a NUC8i7 with an internal M.2 (here I installed Proxmox and Plex, XPenology, Home Assistant and PiHole VMs) and a 2.5 Sata disk. So I have externally 3 2.5 drives via USB and configured one to Plex and two to Xpenology.
In one of the VMs I have Xpenology DSM7 found here on the forum with the image ready for Proxmox (I'm honest, I couldn't create the VM from scratch)
Apart from the fact that every now and then I find a faulty disk on Xpenology (I have them in RAID1 and I have also replaced them, I always have the same problem), I am undecided whether to definitively give up Proxmox and have Xpenology as main system on which to start VM. What do you recommend? I would also be tempted to put an M.2 adapter with Sata ports to add the disks, but there I would have the problem with the NUC which doesn't have any internal space.
Also, importantly, is there a possibility on Xpenology (and therefore on a Synology in general) to protect disks? In the sense that I use these discs for personal photos and videos. Is there any way to make sure that if I were to unplug a disk and plug it into another pc (windows or linux), there would be no way to view private files?

Hello lads,
I need help, I'll explain my configuration first.
