All NVMe (different groups of models/sizes) zpool?

[IamSpartacus]

I have 16 enterprise NVMe drives that I'm considering putting under the same pool with different vdevs per group of identical drive models/sizes. The drives are as follows:

• 6 x 1.60TB Micron 9200 MAX
• 4 x 3.84TB Micron 9200 Pro
• 2 x 3.20TB Samsung PM1725
• 2 x 1.60TB Intel P3605
• 2 x 280GB Intel Optane 900p

I'll probably keep the Optane's on their own as it probably doesn't make sense to put them in this pool. However, my initial thought was a single pool with vdevs for each of those groups of drives.

Any thoughts on this configuration and/or what considerations I should make with regard to performance? This pool will be connected to a second server via dual 40Gb NICs but will be more so doing a lot of internal workloads.

interested to know what configuration you decided on, and what performance you observed
