Need assistance choosing the right drives for new ZFS setup!

But I can mix 512e and 4Kn discs in a mirror or in a pool in general, right?

Why would you want to do that?
All disks you just said ARE 4k. You can emulate 512 on them. Just don’t.

I see, I read that wrong. I do not have too much knowledge about storage media so please excuse my questions. Then I am now going to order 2 Toshibas and a Seagate 16TB drive.

Thank you all for contributing and getting me up to speed!

Edit: This small article about sector size and the terms made it more clear for me: https://www.partitionwizard.com/help/what-is-advanced-format.html
