Question

[Tech nerd sab]

 

I want to know, Can I set up RAID on SSD and RAID on HDD separately in a single system?
Yes, I don't want RAID on SSD and HDD together cause it affects the speed of the drives.

I want both speed and reliability on drives.

I use my RIG  for gaming and other productivity purposes Like 
Editing Video on Premier Pro, 
Using  AutoCAD for Designing 3D models,

Illustrator and Photoshop for Photo editing, Etc.

 

The motherboard that I am using is Z790 Proart wifi.
3 out of 4 M.2 slot has been used for keeping the 8 SATA ports active.
6 SATA port is used for HDDs(Barracuda Pro 10TB)

2 SATA port is(will be) used for SSDs(Empty{Don't know which SATA SSD is reliable in the market at the time of writing})

The SATA SSD will be used as Cache Drive. 

HDDs are for Bulk storage until I get a NAS in my hand.
 

So, The  objectives are to run the M.2s at UNRAID for Maximum performance,
SATA SSDs as Cache, HDDs for bulk storage for completed projects.

I also need to know which SATA SSD is reliable.

Thank you so much for your attention and participation.

You don’t need NVMe SSD raid, full stop. It’s nearly useless. You CAN set up separate RAID arrays on HDDs and SSDs but it’s just dumb.

 

Just put the HDDs in RAID. Leave the NVMe drives without raid.

You say you want to use unraid, so you don't want any kind of RAID anyway. Drives need to be passed directly and unraid manages arrays/pools in software

I am not going with NVme RAID Any way
