It does not have to be that way. Use only one disk for the system
and the second disk for a poudriere ZFS pool ?

Use the same setup, but with ZFS.

I think, but have not checked it, that poudriere uses zfs clones,
which is ***way*** more efficient than copying the whole tree for
each poudriere builder jail.

3.5" or 2.5" ?

Putting the poudriere storage on a SSD might be very helpful.

This is my builder box (8 threads, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 V2 @
3.30GHz,
32 GB RAM):

zpool list
NAME    SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
zroot   428G   216G   212G         -    47%    50%  1.00x  ONLINE  -
pou     232G  49.9G   182G         -    39%    21%  1.00x  ONLINE  -

/pou is on an Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB:

smartctl says:

  9 Power_On_Hours          0x0032   091   091   Always       -       41885
 12 Power_Cycle_Count       0x0032   099   099   Always       -       8
177 Wear_Leveling_Count     0x0013   083   083   Always       -       199

The Wear_Leveling_Count shows that it's probably beyond the spec already 8-}

Have you checked poudriere configurations MAKE_JOBS parameter?
Here is a snippet from poudriere wiki:

By default MAKE_JOBS is disabled to allow only one process per cpu. To
allow it anyway, ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS=yes in your /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf:

echo "ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS=yes" >> /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf
