I am curious as to why having 2 different drives (for SLOG and for L2ARC) is a good idea? I've been reading the series
https://pthree.org/2012/12/07/zfs-administration-part-iv-the-adjustable-replacement-cache/ And it seems like how A Toponce does it makes sense : get 2 good quality (but not necessarily large) SSDs and partition them into 2 areas: one "fairly" small for the SLOG and the other larger partition for the L2ARC ... ?? In his case he did 5GB for the SLOG and the rest (45GB) for the Cache .. Seems like a good use of resources?
