Hi,

Have on freenas for some time now, minimal say about a year.

I have currently 3 live environments running smoothly.

My last config (for the question is!!!

128GB DDR4@2666 ECC RAM.
Dual Xeon CPUS v3 with 40 threads. (intel mobo)
A Proper Rack-mount Chassis with a 12gbps back-pane with a SAS adapter with relevant cables and a 1200W TIT/PLAT PSU.

Running 8x4TB WD REDS.
Running 8x8TB Toshiba Enterprise drives.

Both are separate. Both in Z2.
I have been able to offload my 8x4TBs' in z2 to an external array duly double backed up.

ZFS needs 80% free to do its thing.

QUESTION.

Should I leave them as they are or if should reformat my 8x4TB and add it to my main 8x8TB@Z2!!!

will loss of data increase or can I do this.

I know BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP !!! NO substitutes.

Will adding the small volume be equally safe!!! being put together AND AND AND if kept apart???? THIS MY QUESTION/QUERY?????
