System dataset on freenas-boot (mirrored SSD)

[Tenek]

I'm going to put system dataset on on freenas-boot (2 mirrored 120GB SDD drives). Please confirm that it is OK.

Also I need to locate a good place for jails. I noticed that some people put jail on the separate SSD drives. But I don't see any advantages in my case. I'm thinking just to use only of my regular pools: 2 hdds in mirror, 6 hdds in raid z2. I don't think that any of my pools ever will get idle anyway.

Just make sure you have regular SMART tests, scrubs and email notifications working.

Go with what makes sense for you.
