Is mixing Drive Types allowed in the Configuration of ZFS Vdevs?
In other words in a TVS-h1688X with 12 x 3.5" Drive Bays could you have 6 x 18 TB 3.5" Sata HDDs configured as Raid 6 and then add 6 x 4 TB 2.5" Sata NAS SSDs configured as Raid 6 for 2 separate Vdevs?
Or do all 12 x 3.5" Drive Bays need to contain the identical type of Disk Drive?
I understand there are 4 separate 2.5" Drive Bays. That is not the question.

You can have multiple RAID groups. Yes you can have 6 HDDs and 6 SSDs if you want.
Please keep in mind that you can't add drives to a RAID group.
