I have 2 mirrored pools of hdd's one with data and backup datatsets and one for applications and potential vm's, I also have 2 ssd's(64gb and 128gb) lying around aside from my ssd bootdrive. I wanted to use them as L2ARC cache, but recently found that I can use them for the intent logs as well. I was wondering which you guys would recommend and what the benefits are to either option.
I have 32gb of ram, which will allready be used for ARC. The data/backup pool will get a lot of write actions from weekly backups and a medium amount of random read/writes for the data.
The applications pool is for some fooling around and experimenting so, usage is unknown. I could use both ssd's on 1 pool as cache and log, or 1 for each pool in some combination, what would be your recommendations?
