Using the command above that Peter gave you would get you a result
similar to this
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
storage2 ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0
ad16 ONLINE 0 0 0
ad14 ONLINE 0 0 0
ad10 ONLINE 0 0 0
ad12 ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0
da2 ONLINE 0 0 0
da0 ONLINE 0 0 0
da1 ONLINE 0 0 0
da3 ONLINE 0 0 0
The actual setup is a RAIDZ1 of 1.5TB drives and a RAIDZ1 of 500GB

would be 7 drives in each RAIDZ based on what you said before but I
don't have *that* much money for my home file server.
