I seem to recall the Samsung 1 TB SSD's in your /home RAID10 were worn
out. I suggest installing the 2 TB M.2 WD Black, partitioning it with
GPT, creating one large partition, mounting it at /data, and copying all
of the data from /home to /data before the SSD's and RAID fail completely.
I recently had an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB go from operational to
toast, with nothing in between. If that happens to one of those Samsung
1 TB SSD's, there will be no way for the RAID10 to correct the bad
blocks on the other other SSD. You will corrupt and lose data.
I leave /home on my root partition. My working directories are in CVS.
The only ephemeral data is in $HOME/.thunderbird. I have a mail filter
that copies incoming mail to a second folder on the IMAP server. I Bcc
outgoing mail to another mail account. If my OS disk dies, I restore
the image from last month, update Debian, check out my work, reconnect
Thunderbird to the various e-mail servers, and clean up the Thunderbird
folders as required. No data is lost.
