Hi József!

Thank you!

I know.  I wanted to show the structure of the pools and the layout
of the vdevs.

I disagree.  See below.

But there is no extra SATA connector, so I can only use one SSD.

This is not always true.  Obviously, it depends on the I/O operations
you have on the disks.  Note that the cache is not only for rpool...

Yes, that is why I use an SSD.  Boot time is nice and short, and
the system feels quick when I log in and run things on the command
line.

We were all beginners at some time. :-)
