October 30, 2025Oct 30 Community Expert Solution One of the devices is 2048GB, the other one is 2000 GB. You could create a new single pool with the smaller device, move all the data there, then add the larger device to that pool to create a mirror.

You can also use the mover, but it will likely be slower.
