Hi,
I have my home lab where I deploy my applications in VM and plan to extend that to do web hosting.
I currently purchase 4 x 2TB 980 SSD NVMe to install on a PCI hub interface, 1TB Crucial SSD MX500 for the OS. Here is my plan:
Server Spec: Dell Precision Tower 5810, 98GB RAM, 1 Intel Xeon CPU - 16 cores. Will upgrade if the business goes well.

- Install the OS on the 1TB drive
- use the 2TB SSD for storage. So I will have 4 storage volumes.
- purchase a 16TB HDD for storing other stuff that needs space, for example, configure it as a NAS.
- What did you think of the volume setup? Any advice, please?
- Is it worth using RAID 10 on the 4x2TB? that will reduce the usable storage to 4TB for VM disks.
- Should I consider other storage options?
