What would be the best way to lay out a high performance pool for VM storage? I have 12 x 400GB 2.5" SAS HGST Ultrastar SSD400M HUSML4040ASS60.B. The drives will be connected to TrueNAS in an external disk enclosure with multipath set to active/active. I was thinking 6 x 2 way mirrors or should I go 2 x 6 vdev Z2 pool? Usable space is not the primary concern.

Definitely 6 x 2-drive mirror vdevs would give you the best IOPS.
