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...

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!
