Hi Orvar, Option A effectively doubles your existing pool (500GB x 4-->1TB x 4) *and* provides increased reliability. This is the difference between options A and B.
I also like the convenience of just replacing the smaller disks with larger disks in the existing pool and not having to create a new pool to move data around. Replace disks and done!
