Upgrade to something newer before the setup gets more complex :-)

That's more or less balancing by chance... To use such a setup, you
need two storage devices with different names and different media types.
Then you direct different jobs (or, better, pools) to each of them.
If such a setup is more complex than what you like (which I find
absolutely understandable...) then it's easiest to use LVM to create
one big device from the two disks. Either as a RAID or a JBOD-like
device. Note that RAID-0 as well as JBOD increase the risk of
catastrophic failure, so I'd recommend to, at least, use *three*
devices and create a RAID-5 device from it.
