Indeed, the write amplification will be 2x at best and much more than that in worst case scenarios, reducing your SSD lifetime and IOPS. The size of the journal partition should have no impact on the durability though with DC level SSDs. > Also, if using > SSD pool as cache layer of an SATA pool, we will write twice to journal > for every data block.
