Setting Up New Unraid Server

[Squiggly]

I am configuring a new unraid server and still a little confused with how to configure the drives.

I have 8 drives in my system, all 600gb.

 

What is the best way to organize the drives?  Would this make sense or is there a better way?

Parity 1
Parity 2

Disk 1

Disk 2

Cache 1

Cache 2

Cache 3

Cache 4

 

Thanks.

SSD I'm guessing.

 

The parity array isn't a good fit for SSD, it doesn't support trim, so you probably would want to just configure multiple pools with whatever level of redundancy per pool that makes sense for your various uses. You can use just use any old USB stick as array disk1 so the array will start.
