    Thanks for your perspective.

    I decided to go with the new vdev because:

    • That way, I have access to all 5TB (1TB from the old SSD and 4TB from the new one).
    • One pool is easier to manage than two.
    • I know that I don’t have auto-healing, and if either of the SSDs fails, I lose the whole pool, and I accept that.

    I did this via:
    zpool add ssdPool /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-Samsung_SSD_990_PRO_4TB-part3

    I don’t like ext4 because it is not easily backupable (it doesn’t have snapshots, which are moved periodically to hddPool).
