Need Help with Pool expansion

[damdude]

Hello guys,

I am pretty novice here. I mainly use TrueNas for Timemachine Backup and rarely muck around it. I have a pool with 2x 1 TB drives, I think the pool is setup as Mirror, I am not sure. if someone tell me steps, I can copy paste the results to figure out what kind of pool it is. but basically I need to expand the size of pool so that I can take bigger backups of timemachine.

I am thinking of adding 2 x 10TB drives to the current pool ( 2x 1TB drives) , is that a good idea ? of mixing two different types of drives in pool ?

any suggestions

Run zpool status and please use code tags.

I think it's fine as long as the drives within the pair are identical.
