Perhaps if you stated the end goal you are trying to reach, it would be easier to figure out an answer to if it's relevant or not? The storage admin in my thinks you spread load and risk better if all 120 disks get used for both pools, but you might have a specific reason and if so, may we know it? -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.
