Yes, this setup works.
I would just highlight that a single M.2 stick will only allow read-cache. You will need a pair of M.2 for write cache.
I would also combine bay 1,2,3,4 as a RAID5. Black vs Red is not that significant. IOPS is what matters. Only 2.5inch SSD would give significant improvement.
Otherwise, File and Multimedia servers can be hosted on shared RAID under different volumes.
You may as well consider ruing OS and apps from SATA SSD or NVMe to improve performance further.
I hope this helps.
