application installation best practise - Enquiries - 12-23-2024

hello,
after reviewing different solutions, I am considering buying an IX Mini X+ systems.
I have doubts about best practises to setup the system especially considering application install location (sorry i am quite new in this kind of project...)
I understand the OS (TrueNas) will be installed on the onboard NVMe drive.
But where should applications be installed ?
- on the NVMe itself ? enough space ? What about backup in case of crash?
- on SSD drives using the 2 hotswaps bays ?
- on a dedicated volume in the HDD drives ?
In general, do you recommend installing applications on SSDs ?

Regards,
Eric
