I'm about to build my first NAS system. I have the following hardware:
Altermiter X99-H v1.41 Motherboard with Xeon E5-2680V4
32GB (2x16) ECC REG DDR4 RAM 2133mhz
1TB Samsung 980 PRO NVME SSD
2x6TB Toshiba Enterprise 7200RPM 512MB Cache drives (Model MG08ADA600E)
I have these spare drives lying around, if there is potentially any use for them, I'd like to know;
256 GB Sandisk SATA SSD PLUS
128 GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD
What's the best I can do with this hardware using TrueNAS SCALE? I have researched a bit and currently thinking about RAIDZ1, but I was thinking I could employ the 980 pro for cache while using one of the spare SSDs for a boot drive - or perhaps using both of them for a mirrored boot?
