Comment on Second hand disks?
What if you can do a 2 or 3 disk redundancy?
The biggest fear would be when you’re rebuilding, you’re putting extra stress on the other drives, thereby increasing the risk of them, too, dying.
I suppose using mirror vdevs technically also puts stress on drives during rebuilding, however it should be significantly less than on drives in RAIDz.
