How to reset HDDs and to create new file system.

[WhiteTiger]

This is my first Proxmox server.
I have a not particularly performing motherboard with a 4 core AMD CPU and 16GB RAM.

In my PVE I have 7 disks.
1 SDD 120GB for boot
4 HDDs of 1TB each with ZFS RAID10 installed
I then have 2 2.5" HDDs 500GB WD Blue, code WD5000BPVT and WD5000BEVT.
There was something installed on both of them and in the GUI I see usage = partitioned.
How can I reset and use them?

The two disks are not of the same type, can I still create a mirror?
Alternatively I would like to create two 500GB disks to save everything that is not necessary to keep protected, such as ISO or service files.
In this case I can always use ext4, right?

Any advice on this?
Thanks in advance.

hi,

do fdisk -l to see and identify the device paths (like /dev/sdX and so on). to wipe them you can use sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sdX

The two disks are not of the same type, can I still create a mirror?

what do you mean with same type?
