How would you configure this disc setup?

[MWDK]

So i have a nice HP Xeon workstation with Unraid 6.8. I have the following drives - but whats the BEST way to configure them?

2 x 8TB S6

1 x 5TB S6

1 x 3TB S6

1 x 1TB S6 SSD

1 x 512GB S6 SSD

1 x 512GB PCIe NVME SSD

1 x 256GB M.2 SSD

4 x 240GB S6 SSD

 

Would it make sense to buy a large parity disc aswell to boost storage space? Like a 10 or 12TB disc?

The IDEA was to use the 512GB NVME as very fast cache - but i don't know how that works with all the other SSD's. Would be nice to have the 4 x 240TB in RAID5 as cache aswell

 

32gig ram aswell btw..

What are your thoughts?

Any info is much appreciated! 

EDIT: Also GTX1050ti for transcoding plex and that works extremely well!

It's used mostly for document storage and PLEX

Not sure about the SSD side if things but a large parity disc is a definite but bear in mind you'll get no extra storage capacity from it so it's an extra spend . However it will give you an initial level of resilience against disc failure unless of course you don't need any data protection. I'd say you will so get spending!
