I have ts-h1290fx with 16 cores with 4 x 7.68tb nvme drives and 256gb ram. My main use of this box is to run Virtual Machines, using qcow files locally, about 20 of them.
I've gone to set up storage pool but I'm torn between Raid 6 and raid 10.
Also, if I select Raid 6, SSD anti-wear levelling is selected by default, however on the next page is says that pool over provisioning is better than SSD over provisioning. So would I get good redundancy and best performance with raid 10 or should I stick to trusted raid 6 and take the performance hit? Although these disks will be faster than anything I've used before and even in raid 6 will be much faster than my HDD San!!
If I do raid 6 is SSD and Pool Over Provision set to 5% each enough to keep ssd performance and longevity. Raid 6 or 10 does cut my space in half but I do want good protection, in addition to backups!!!!

I could run the zfs profiling tool but I don't have 12 days to spare.
Thanks in advance,
