How to optimally configure a disk system?

HELO
There are:

  • Workstation on Debian 8.
  • 200 GB Intel SSD.
  • Two HDD Maxtor 4TB each, which will be combined into RAID1.
  • RAM 32GB.

You need to configure partitions from the following requirements:
  • The /home section must be on the raid.
  • The machine will run many processes with several GB of RAM each. Not always at the same time, often in turn, in an unpredictable order.

Questions:
  1. Make root partition on SSD?
  2. Use SSD as LVM Cache and/or swap?
  3. Implement paragraphs. 1 and 2 at the same time? In what proportion?

Considerations:
  • Since there will be many heavy applications, the swap is still needed.
  • Swap is good on SSD.
  • It makes sense to do LVM Cache only for data that is not on the SSD.
  • The more cache, the better.
  • Swap cache is weird.
  • Making a root on a RAID is somehow sykotno, maybe unreasonable.
