Question Storing data on SSD and HDD

nucknuck

Basic Pleskian
Hello together,

I have a question and hope that I can get a hint:

I plan to get a server. The accounts that have to be hosted are normaly small websites and many big email accounts.
Because SSD is expensive and limited to 1TB size at my hoster I want to know if this is possible:

2x 1TB SSD RAID1
  • OS
  • Plesk
  • Websites
  • Database

2x 4TB HDD RAID1
  • Mailaccounts
OS: Debian 10 or Ubtuntu 20


I know that mail is located by basic setup at /var/qmail/.

Have I to do a setup of Plesk and have to change the path for storing mail to for example /hddraid1/qmail or is it enough to mount the HDD RAID1 to /var/qmail/ before setup of plesk?

I would choose the second option. It looks simpler.
