I didn't get any love on Reddit, so I figured I'd ask here.
Current setup:
I have a problem, given the new Comcast data caps I now feel like I cannot replace my entire media library in a few days and feel like it’s time to add some redundancy. I would like to eventually get to a 2x4TB mirror and 1x4TB hot spare. My case only supports 3 drives, and I don’t see myself wanting to have more than 4 TBs of media at time (I’m open to other suggestions, RAIDz?). I may move some of my personal backups to the drive in the future to avoid paying google every month. Also crashplan doesn’t seem like an option now because of the Comcast cap.
My question is – what would be a good migration plan for moving my current pool to the 4TB drive, re -creating my z-pool as a mirrored 2x2TB, and then finally replacing one of the 2TB drives with the 4TB. I would like to replace one of the 2TB with the 4TB so I can eventually upgrade the pool to 2x4TB. I currently have about 1.5 TB of data in my Stipe(RAID0?) pool. Is this possible? Or even a good idea?
Thank you!
