Just as you have two HDDs in a RAID array for redundancy, you should not rely on a single SSD. If you cannot afford two SSDs then I second the suggestion to replace one of the HDDs with the SSD and set the HDD write-mostly. Do also check the exact sector counts as it is entirely possible that a "500GB" SSD is actually slightly smaller than your "500GB" HDDs. Cheers, Andy
I did exactly this, though I replaced a 1TB disk with a 2TB sata SSD to avoid that problem, and at some point I'll replace the remaining disk with an nvme drive now that I've replaced the MB, then I'll grow the filesystems to fit. Regards, Geoff
