Hmm you are right, yesterday I found this video, which is covering my questions:

Hello guys, coming from Synology world, where I had until now: DS1515 (4core 1.4Gbhz AL314, 2048MB RAM, 4x1Gbit as BOND), 3x10TB Seagate IronWolf, no SSD cache. After decade with multiple Synology boxes, I decided that now is time for DIY NAS with Unraid on top. And now question is coming. I want use new NAS as storage (like now) and for Docker and maybe few VMs. I planned to buy 4x12TB Seagate IronWolf and 1xM2 NVMe 1TB for Docker/VM purpose. Now I watched several tutorials about array/pool creation and I am a bit confused which setup should I make: - array with 4x12TB and use NVMe for cache (in this case better to have 2 for mirror seems like) => is it possible to force Docker/VM to stay only withing NVMe to not have SATA disks all time up? (I will have there HomeAssistant container which will run 24x7) - or should I have different setup like 1 array (4x12TB) with 1xNVMe cache for main and second array (1xNVMe) for Docker/VM - or should I even consider to have cache when I will have again just 4x1Gbit network card in bond (I lived last 10 years without SSD cache )? Thanks for your opinions and sorry in advance for maybe stupid questions
