Hello! Yes, you can enhance your mirrored pool by adding a read-write cache without starting from scratch. Just follow the appropriate steps in Windows 11 to integrate it. Let me know if you need more details!

If both disks are HDDs, adding a cache SSD—like a small 128 or 256GB unit—could improve performance.

They are an HDD, and I already have an SSD for caching. I'm having trouble integrating the SSD into the pool. In the GUI I added it, but it didn't behave as a cache—it paused until another disk was ready to extend mirroring.

You don't need to worry about it in Windows. You can manage your cache using built-in tools or third-party apps.
