I use DrivePool for my servers and love it, but performance there isn't that important. On my desktop, I want the fastest performance possible, though I would also like better use of my two 500GB SSDs. I'd like to shave off my OS into a separate partition and then pool the remaining space with the other drive. I'd then install my software, VMs, etc. on the pool. No need for duplication here, all my important stuff goes on my server.
I suppose I could test this myself, but I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this. Is there a penalty to this configuration? If so, how much?
