Dan Kaminsky once said I know how computers work.
@0x0 3.5” SATA, 2.5” SATA, and M.2 SATA are all the same speed (assuming they’re all the same version of the SATA specification). The MX500 is a SATA Drive, so it will have the same performance no matter which way you connect it.
For performance vdevs (cache, dedup, log, or special) to improve performance, they need to be noticeably faster than the capacity devices. For example, a SATA SSD makes a good performance vdev for a pool which gets its capacity from spinning disks. Since your pool is already SATA SSDs, a SATA SSD performance vdev won’t help. For a performance vdev to help you, it would have to be NVMe.
