I am considering building a cluster that will use a mix of TLC and QLC NVMe SSDs. I assume that Nutanix will put all of these drives into the SSD-PCIe storage tier and every disk will be a member of the same tier. Since QLC SSDs have lower performance and lower write endurance than their TLC, MLC, and SLC counterparts, it would be advantageous to use storage tiering to encourage cold data to reside on the QLC media and hotter data to reside on the more performant drives. Is there a supported method for this in non-community edition clusters? It would be relatively straightforward to manually change the tier-name for the QLC drives to SSD-SATA, but is that a supported practice?
