I have a standalone server (2019 Datacenter) with 6 SAS HDD disks (4x 6TB, 2x 8TB) and 4 NVMe disks (4x 1TB) => we are NOT in a storage spaces direct (S2D) scenario.
All disks are in 1 storage pool, in which I created a 2-way mirrored performance tier (NVMe) and a 2-way mirrored capacity tier (HDD).
I would like to create a ReFS formatted volume in which I can pin (using the Set-FileStorageTier command) VHDX files to the performance tier.
I've read that this doesn't work in Server 2016:
Set-FileStorageTier fails on Microsoft ReFS formatted volume.
Has anybody had any success in making this work in Server 2019?
If it still doesn't work, what would be the best option:
Thanks in advance for any advice!

If it still doesn't work, what would be the best option:
- formatting the volume as ReFS, without the possibility to pin files to the performance tier
- formatting the volume as NTFS, with the possibility to pin files to the performance tier?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
