Since you will run OS and apps on NVMe, having SATA SSD cache would make no sense (2000MB/s versus 500GB/s).
You could set up separate RAID on those bays for backups. Or maybe a hot spare.
I hope this helps.
Thanks again for the advise.
RAID 0 on the (2) 2TB NVMe drives for maximum speed and capacity?
Which RAID level for the (4) 18TB spinning drives? 5 or 6?
