Finished running 3 tests (2 hours each) for single drive, Optane SSD +
single disk and Optane SSD + 2 disks. No problems detected.

See the attached file for a plot of the results. I also get near
perfect avergare performance scaling with the cache device from 185
MB/s with ssd+single disk to 367 MB/s with ssd+2 disks. And that is
more than 10 times higher than the legacy single drive setup at 34 MB/s
in average.
