If you have mostly small file IO and only the occasional large files, you might consider having 2 data pools on HDD. One 3x-replicated pool as default and an 8+2 or 8+3 EC pool for large files. You can give every user a folder on the large-file pool (say "archives" under home). For data folders users should tell you what it is for.
