Personally I also found this confusing when I setup my cluster a while
back. I ended up creating multiple data volumes. One for each drive. You
could probably software raid the drives first and present it to the
deployment wizard as one block device. I’m not sure if deployment wizard
will combine multiple physical drives into one volume for you. Hopefully
someone else can shed more light on this.

With your host specs it sounds like you should be fine to use
dedupe/compression
