Can I keep sda as my boot disk and just run sdb and sdc for data storage?
Yes, I've been doing that for years. I started with a HDD for the boot drive and 2x 2TB drives for my data, but eventually upgraded to a 1TB SSD for my boot drive and 2x 4TB for the data. I have two partitions on the 4TB RAID 1 volume, a 3TB XFS filesystem for larger files like videos and a 1TB ext4 filesystem for everything else. I keep my Steam games on the SSD for speed and because they can always be redownloaded so I don't need the reliability of the mirror.
Am I on the right track here or do I have incorrect expectations?
It's been working fine for me. Cheers, Andrew
