I had not really considered that. I was going under the assumption that 2TB drives are

my 1TB drives around anyhow.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Resilver times are going to be heavily influenced by the number of files
you store (in addition to mirror vs raidzN). Obviously, a 2TB drive can
store 2x the number of files a 1TB would.
If the vast majority of files on the raidz are going to be large in
size, then you won't see too much of a penalty for using 2TB vs 1TB.
