It doesn't, the smallest drive size in a vdev will be be used. So if you > mirror a 1TB drive and a 2TB drive, you have a 1TB mirror. Yep, I get that. I was referring to mixing vdevs with different drive types(Manf) and sizes in the zpool. One of the technical aspects that someone over on FreeNAS pointed out to me is that ZFS does some interesting things with spindle speeds and some other internal drive mechanisms to sort of "equalize" the zpool. I wish I could find the thread, but can't. Bottom line is this developer was stating that ZFS isn't as sensitive to mixed drives types (Manf) and sizes as say a hardware raid solution.
