Raid1 with different device types

[random1104]

Hello, I would like to install OPNsense in a Citrix SD-WAN 210 appliance. It supports both mSATA & SATADOM drives.

Currently it has installed a 60GB mSATA SSD disk and a 16GB SATADOM drive, I'll replace the SATADOM drive with a 64GB one

Do you see any cons running a mirror with those devices?

Original devices:

I'd install a ZFS mirror. There should not be any problem caused by the types of the devices.

Did you ever get opnsense to run stable on the device?
