Hardware that can last longer and IOPS needed

Hello.
I am planning to build local cluster with following assumptions and hardware which I already have.

Worker nodes:
Number of worker nodes: 2
RAM: 64 GB DDR4 physical per node, 32 GB per heap.
CPU: AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper 1900X (on both nodes)
Max data size stored on the elastic cluster: 3TB
Document count: 5,000,000,000
HDDs: Per node 4x2TB HGST spinning drives with RAID10

Master node / ingestion node:
1 master node, 8GB RAM DDR4, i3-7100U CPU @ 2.40GHz, Samsung SSD 850 256 GB

Shard will be 20 GB with one replica.

loading the data ---> MASTER ---> SWITCH --> Two worker nodes
The connection between them would be 1Gbps.

The first load will perform approximately 700 GB of data, later every day ingestion will be 800 MB.
Querying the data will be only by the Kibana with the refresh interval of 1 minute. Occasionally API search.

If I will load the data over the master that will do the preprocessing of bulk requests, do I have the need to remove the HDDs from RAID10 configuration and replace it with RAID0 NVME drives / SSDs?
Will the SSD IOPS speed help to ingest data faster and better than on the worker node?

Or should I go straight to buying set of 2x 1TB M2 drives per node or 2x1TB SSDs? If yes, what drive you could recommend that I will not have to throw away after 4 months or something?

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

Having a single master node is a bad idea. Instead also make the data nodes master eligible so you have a total of 3 master eligible nodes. Remember to set minimum_master_nodes to 2 according to these guidelines. Then send all traffic, indexing and querying, directly to the data nodes as these are larger and more powerful. Loading all data over the smaller master node risks making it a bottleneck and if it was the only master eligible node it could also cause instability.

Thanks, that confirms my future setup.

Are you using ECC RAM ?

Yes, it does support ECC.
