Just worry that the existing disk group dont have enough iops due to percentage of SSD size is only 5% from the total HDD size.
SSD size is 800GB
HDD size is 4 x 4TB
Is this answer helpful?

FF. Haven't tried this yet. One thing that I have noticed is that aCloud auto assign 1 SSD per disk group. Maybe if you want to add another one, it will create another disk group. Not sure.

You cannot upgrade to the existing but you can create a disk group if you want to add.

For your information, one disk group only can consist of one SSD. One disk group consist SSD with n HDD (n ≤ 7). The capacity ratio of SSD and HDD for a disk group not less than 1:20
