June 3, 20242 yr I currently have 3 small SSDs as my "apps" pool on which my docker.img file lives and on which all of my dockers are installed. I'm running out of space on this pool, so I've purchased 2 new 1TB SSDs as a replacement. What's the current "gold standard" setup for this particular install? I would think that a mirrored pair would be best, so a failure in one drive would be recoverable by running off the other. Is this (or other "failure proof" setup) possible with ZFS? I don't believe BTRFS offers this option. I don't have a RAID card I could install to support this type of operation (and I understand that they're generally not recommended with unraid).

June 3, 20242 yr Author A bit vague and terse... Based on what I've been reading, it seems that ZFS takes some considerable resources, and, therefore, might not be best for my aging hardware. Looks like BTRFS might be the better option for me.
