Hi there, I think I have managed to confuse myself so i am asking outright hoping for a straight answer.
First, my situation. I have several disks of varying sizes I would like to run as redundant storage ina file server at home. Performance is not my number one priority, largest capacity possible while allowing for a single disk failure. Is there a soluton to my problem? My understanding is as follows, JBOD does not protect from a disk failure. Raidz can only be as big as your smallest disk. For example if I had a 320gig with a 250gig and 200gig I could only have 400gig of storage. I know it's not exactly an enterprise level question but it would help my understanding a lot. I just want to be sure that buying new disks of equal size is not my only option to have a proper raidz configuration. thanks.
