best ZPool setup given my current drive array

I have spent some time understanding zfs and zpools and whatnot. I have an array of drives and dont want to use the OOTB array that unraid does. 

 

right now, I have a USB 3.1 drive (64GB) as the only array disk so that it starts up. Currently using 6.10.0-rc1.

I want to redo tank and vmstorage. I am going to wipe raidz1-1 out of tank (means ill delete and recreate the pool) and throw those drives out. they are really old WD Red 2TB and 2 hitachi 2TBs. I am going to buy another 10 16TB drives and I think that i can use the 240GB SSDs as cache/log drives. maybe a mirror array on both cache and log, then 2 hot spares? I have no use case for vmstorage since I now have the fast pool.

 

my ask, is given the info above, what would be the best config with performance as #1 with some redundancy. these will not be mission critical files, if they are, they will be backed up elsewhere. 

 

2 vdevs of raidz with 10 disks each? and cache/log setup in mirrors? or something else?

I also have a 1TB nvme drive that wouldnt be utilized.

ZFS is not natively supported by Unraid.

You'll have better luck for support in the support thread of the plugin.
