Migrate from unRAID to Proxmox?

I currently have 3 home rack-mount servers, 2 of which run unRAID and
the other Windows.

My storage server (that I use for Plex, Jellyfin, Nextcloud) is pretty
slow. It's an old Chenbro NR12000.

My other servers are newer and quite a bit faster, but have very
little storage.

I have heard that Proxmox can cluster multiple servers together, and
am curious if there would be any benefit to doing away with unRAID and
moving to Proxmox. It sounds like it would be beneficial to cluster
multiple servers together.

What are thoughts on this? Good or bad idea?

I run Unraid Virtualized in Proxmox, haven't had a single issue.

I'd recommend it if you want to do it, otherwise may not be worth the
effort, still pretty 'novice' myself so maybe some old dogs can
provide better insight.

I’m new to the scene as well but I run truenas server and 3 proxmox
servers and one vm I have is a truenas testing server on proxmox. It
is an exact relica of my main truenas server. It has a little over 5TB
of data and I haven’t had any issues at all.

I’ve seen in multiple places people saying they virtualized truenas as
well as unraid.
