So when I first started using freenas my plan was to use it firstly as a backup of my digital photos so I chose the mirrored layout of my drives to get the most secure storage... now as Google is providing me infinite storage of my photos it's mostly media and I feel that the redundancy is a bit overkill tbh. This is my current layout:
With the mirrors as follows:
So... I'm thinking of buying a new 10TB drive, creating a new volume with that one, moving all the stuff from my current volume there and then expanding the new one with the old disks...
Is that possible and what's the best practice, and what kind of layouts should I choose?
