Hi, I’ve just brought a TS464-8G. I’ve got 2 x SSD T500 NVME, 2 x WD 8TB Red Pro and 2 x WD 6TB Red plus. I was planning to run SSDs in raid 1, the 8TB in raid 1 for maximum protection of personal data, photos, etc. I was planning to use the 2 x 6TB as a JBOD for large storage (12TB) that I can use (games, torrent, etc), not worried if I lose data on drive fail. I assume I do SSD install first to get OS on SSD and then raid/pool the drives together. Then add 8TB together and raid 1. Should I use qtier to combine SSD/8TB raid 1 for better speed? Also if I add 6TB JBOD (12TB) can I also add separately to qtier. Would like best advice on setting up NAS? Brand new to NAS but have read your articles/vids. Regards Alan
