I don’t think it’ll be ideal. Converting the mirror to z1 would be a big hassle. I don’t see any migration path where I can safely lose a disk without losing data. Also, if both of the old drives fail, I lose everything.

In any case, I’m perfectly happy with 8TB for now. It’s a doubling of my current capacity, of which I’m only using around 70%. I’ll be fine for quite a few years.
(Also, won’t it be around 12 TB, and not 14.5 TB?)
