Ah, ok. I have 2 3TB and a 4TB running on a Proxmox v3 system. Was wanting to upgrade to Proxmox v5 and try ZFS.
The 4TB is a different make than the 2 3TB drives, though.
- magicalhippo 7y agoI've been running a mixed-make mirror array for half a year now. Like I said, speed is limited by slowest drive but apart from that it works just fine.
- JustSomeNobody 7y agoThank you. I appreciate the info.
- magicalhippo 7y agoNote it's probably not a good idea (if possible) to mix 512 and 4096 byte sector drives in the same vdev.
- ianhowson 7y agoIf you create the pool with ashift=12, you're fine. The only hazard is if you have an ashift=9 pool (the default, IIRC) and later add a 4096 byte sector drive, you might lose some write perf. It probably doesn't matter for homelab use. There aren't many 512 byte drives any more. You'll be fine.
