I use 1 ssd for OS. With my own automation for deployment.
And sata drives swraid5 with data partition.
And cache ssd for filesystem used on a raid'ed fs and enabled compression...

your home workstation.
MOST important, you can easily reinstall and YOU have fun while just
thinking you have it deployed ;) and can use any second and feel good when
using it!
