Hey guys,

ive seen a few topics of this topic leaning more to questions about tech/config like raid0 or 1 on cache or what disks are TRIM compable and stuff, but after reading other posts im still unsure on how to do my usecase. So please help me out here guys 😣

 

My Setup:

ASUS Prime B450M-A

Ryzen 5 3400G 

2x8GB Corsair 3000MHz RAM Sticks

Disks: 3x1TB SSDs (1 ADATA SU800, 2 Crucial BX500)

My Usecase / Whats my plan:

  • I would use this server as a homelab, meaning:
  • Some Plex (about 400-800G)
  • Mostly dev stuff & virtualization (so heavy VMs and Docker Containers and Coding)
  • Aside a bit personal data backup (like 150gb or so) 
  • Rest is for trying out new stuff

The question are now:

  1. How to setup the 3SSDs at best, considering my usecase.
  2. I thought of just normal 2 ssd array and 1 parity, or just 2 ssd and 1 cache
  3. Im unsure in what ways ssds might die in the way unraid uses them, compared to a normal software raid (md) like under ubuntu
  4. Am i missing something?
