I would like redundancy, and was thinking I could put them in a second array. I don't think unraid supports this. My thinking hete is that I might benefit from faster read write speeds to the ssd when working in lightroom. It's all learning

Hi All, I'm brand new to unraid, and also new to the whole home server / NAS world. So i have plenty to learn as i dip my toes in. I've been testing unraid on an old intel nuc with 2tb of storage on a sata drive and a 250gb nvme cache drive to host some of my media and run a few docker containers. I really like the system and once my trial ends I will be updating to a full licence. My use for the server is mainly to host my large media library. Video through plex, music in roon and photos in lightroom. The server will also be used to back up my PC, important emails. Documents and google photos through immich. I will host a few containers and run Home Assistant in a VM. I'm ultimately going for an all in one box I am completely unsure of shat filing system i should use. I'm still trying to decide on xfs, birds and zfs. I understand they each have their pros and cons. The hardware i will be using for this build is CPU: 14400 Ram: 32gb crucial pro DDR4 2 x 14TB HDDs 1 x 2TB Sata SSD to store my loghtroom catalogue photos 1 x 2TB Sata SSD to be used for downloads to be moved to the array 1 x 250gb nvme to be used as a cache drive for app data 1 x 2TB NVME to be used as appdata and metadata storage for Plex and Roon libraries I will need to add more storage very soon as I have a large bluray collection to rip to my drives. Any advice on the file system that might be of the most benefit to me. (Or a different configuration if I'm not using my drives in the most optimal way). I understand that using the traditional Unraid file systems can have issues if there are multiple steams of media at the same time. I don't think this would be an issue for me. At most I will either have 2 plex streams at once or 1 plex and 1 roon stream at the see time.
