KISS is good. But you really need to talk with the customer to define their workflow better. Also, there's a big difference between SSD and SATA disks.
Oh definitely. I'll be talking to them. I'm just enjoying the design part, which has always been my favorite part of this sort of work -- the designing and building of stuff, before the inevitable descent into maintenance issues, misuse and neglect. :)
Heck, you have that pile of six SAS disks, why not use them in a RAID0 for your working set, but then a pair of mirrored larger disks to store your data.
I'd love to use my stack of SAS disks ... but that would mean purchasing a SAS controller for the project, and that would mean $$$. Hmmm, that's another thing I hadn't thought about looking for -- a JBOD SAS Controller ...??
