I have a Dell r720xd in the 25 2.5" drive front, 2x 2.5" FlexBay rear, format.
TrueNAS has been loaded and the four 146GB SAS drives set up as 2x for the OS and 2x as virtual drives.
If I were to put two 2.5" SSD's in the rear FlexBay would TrueNAS make use of them for high speed swap - while the drives in the front are used, in various virtual drive configurations, for storage?
I have read this ...

and so I'm I'm looking, short term, at at least a pair of 6TB HDD drives in the front bay.

(Trying to enhance my understanding of how everything works ...)
The server currently hosts 8x Samsung 4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R-09-11-E2-P2 RAM sticks.
Should I be planning to add more, or to upgrade them with something different, for improved future performance?
Thanks ...
