The Story:
It was in a mirrored setup. One of the hard drives failed. Warranty replaced it but now the network card is unreliable. I decided to get a new 8 bay NAS. Kind of overkill but I wanted options for future expansion and more horsepower.
The Plan:
On the new nas, I’m just starting with 2 drives for storage. I plan to create a pool and put them in a mirror. Transfer the data from my remaining drive to the new pool. I’ll be using truenas scale.
The Questions:
If I add 2 more drives to the pool, is it easy to add it to the existing 2?
Can I mix and match sizes? For example, can I have a pair of 14tb and then add a pair of 12tb?
Thanks for the help.
