ELI5 (explain like I'm 5 years old) what is the purposes of the two 2.5" drive bays on the TrueNAS Mini-X and Mini-X+?
The five 3.5" drive bays will obviously be filled with 3.5" spinning HDDisks. The two 2.5" drive bays can fit 2.5" spinning notebook drives (but nobody would do that, right?) or 2.5" Solid State Drives. And I assume that SSDs are the intended occupants for the smaller drive bays... but what would you do with them? The SSDs wouldn't be in the same pool as the 3.5" drives, right? And you wouldn't just make a mirror of two SSDs, would you? Is there some way to make the SSDs be some sort of super-cache for the main pool?
Confused.
