I have a 2012 R2 server on its last leg and will be replaced soon. But I'm trying to eek it out until PCIe4 is more widely available and stable.
I have a Mirror storage pool with 8x 10k SAS drives and 2x SSDs. I'm seeing solid 500/700MB/s for Write/Read speeds. I would like to fully saturate 10gb. If I added another 2 SSDs to the pool should I see my speeds go up to 1GB/1.4GB (minus overhead)? Or will it just expand the SSD tier to be larger? Or will my sequential read speeds always be off of the HDD tier even if I have 2TB of SSD tier capacity?
Also, is this operation supported without nuking the volume for do I need to transfer everything off to a temp drive before adding an additional 2x SSDs?
Thanks!
