Hello,
First, sorry for my English, I'm French.
I want to have some opinions to help me find an optimal storage strategy with my home server.
I have an HP Z820 with 2 Xeon 2620 v2, 64GB of RAM, 8 internal SAS / SATA 6 Gbps ports (LSI 2308) and 2 SATA ACHI (Intel C602)
I want to run a few VM on Hyper-V to study 2012 Server, SCCM, deployment, packaging, APPV, etc.
Maybe a lab with 2x 2012R2 Core, 2x 2012R2 GUI and 2x W7/W8.
So, Hyper-V Core is installed on a USB3 Thumb, without swap file,
I have 3 SSD different brand (1x ADATA SX900 512Gb, 1x ADATA SX900 256Gb and 1x Intel 730 240GB).
I have a RAID 1 with 2x1.5TB WD Green for backups, connected on the LSI 2308 controller (that I can plug in an external USB enclosure)
What would be optimal set up, evident with the least expenses:

What would be optimal set up, evident with the least expenses:
- Separate storage of Hyper-V (host cache, guest cache, snapshot, parents / children VHDX, vDisk, etc.) on separate SSD?
- Buy another 240GB Intel 730 SSD, for RAID 0, even if the write is low?
- Buy another 2 or 3 cheap SSD, like ADATA SX900 or Crucial M500, to make a RAID 0?
- Buy a high speed SSD, PCIe example or Intel 850pro without RAID0?
- Use the storage pool features of the 2012 R2 for make JBOD of SSD?
