Question Storing data on SSD and HDD

[nucknuck]

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.

@IgorG

Do you have already tried a setup like this?

Or anyone else?

I have not tried it, but I see no reason why there might be problems. Unless the partition is mounted incorrectly.
