Should I install the NAS OS on one of the 1TB NVMe drives and use the second NVMe for hypercache?
This is a good way to speed up system respond and data transfer. BUT a SSD to hold system requires much better write durability, please make sure your SSD good enough.
would it be better to install the OS on the 8TB HDDs and dedicate both NVMe drives to hypercache?
Two SSD hypercache can be set to RAID 0 or RAID 1, if 1TB cache is good enough for you, then a RAID 1 hypercache will improve your data safety.
