The benefits would be that metadata type FS queries are OOB from the actual data, theoretically allowing more IOPs on your data disks spent on actual data.

- smallnamespace 5y agoIf you just add metadata SSDs you’re also adding IOPS to the pool. The question then becomes whether that improves performance more than if you added those same SSDs without the split (my guess would be not splitting is better, since the IO load will be better balanced across drives).
