The box I'm working with as 12 drive cages. One cage is going to hot spare and the other is going to be a SLOG. So, I have 10 cages for storage. I currently have 8x1TB RE4 drives. I wanna fill up the last 2 drive cages, but I figured if I'm going to buy drives I might as well get 2TB or 3TB red drives. However, maybe it isn't worth the hassle. I've just read and been told on other mailing lists that ZFS doesn't care as much as hardware RAID about having all the same drive size and type.
