Yea that RAID 1 setup seems weird to me as well. Have you looked into UnRaid? The added cache pool might be hery helpful in this instance. I see a huge peek when like the new episode of (insert popular show here) every one trying to watch it. UnRaid will move a copy to the Cache Pool automatically and in my server the cache pool is 2x RAID 0 1TB NVME drives. Its not unusual to see 8-10 users watching the same thing on my server and mone of them even hit the big spinning 10TB drives.

I heard it has a lot of advantages, I just struggled for so long with Linux and I had no idea how well QuickSync works for unRAID. When my Ubuntu server hit the fan I just went back to the familiar.
