Personally, I would put one of the 990 in the server, use it as system drive + storage for databases and such. Then, the EVO in NAS to store backups, as it’s not very bandwidth sensitive and saves a little bit of lifespan out of the main SSD. And probably an extra copy of your restic repository onto the external 2TB SSD (though I would store that extra backup offsite on Backblaze B2)
Oh, and you should probably set up restic’s rest-server, it makes backuping from other computers really easy (easier than SFTP, which I had issues with)




Having read previous Bluefin announcements, the Bluefin maintainers have fully embraced LLMs, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they made extensive use of them for Bluefin Server.
