It affects them just as much, since LVMs still run on the hardware, so anything on hardware layer will affect the LVM too.
First, this is mostly only for write speeds. Read speeds aren’t really affected by this.
So if your 2x512GB are close to full, these will be much slower. If you add a third, that one will be fast. So you’ll still be able to write at about the speed of one drive.
If you balance the load (which, afaik LVM doesn’t proactively do when you add a new drive), you can get your total speed up by a lot.
My thought more was how does an LVM fill each drive? I also filled one drive to like 75% when migrating drives before adding the second. The third hopefully is being added soon. So each isn’t equally filled.
Never really looked into LVM cache options but perhaps getting a single high performance SSD for that could be an idea. Though it probably doesn’t really matter that much.

What about something like LVM cache? Would it be worth setting up an X% empty partition on the drive, just for empty space reasons?
