I read that you're a big fan of ZFS :)
"(( Yes, you may add a mirror (of two disk) to that pool, which has a RaidZ currently. That's just not recommended! But it works."
If it's not recommended, I don't do it. What's the point?
But I did it in...
Dropping ZFS will make you lose the guaranteed integrity of ZFS, IOPS (...are low for Raid5), technically cheap snapshots, transparent compression, zfs send/receive, ..., ...
And... easy extensibility. Where is your problem?

Hi, actually the thread has become too technical for my current knowledge, but it was still a pleasure to read it even though I understood very little.
On this Proxmox server, we have a Windows server that acts as a file server and about 5 VMs...
Most likely yes.
It tooks me a second to read the above discussion when I realized they're no longer speaking in terms of your question. The answer to your question depends on other factors you didnt mention, namely:

The release notes say that ZFS is only at 2.2.7 with PVE 8.4...
I didn't express myself well; I tried to provide as much information as possible.
I'll start again:
The disks are on the server, but a hardware raid hasn't been created on the server because we know that zfs doesn't support hardware raids.
The...
That ZFS pool is not a JBOD, but a ZFS raid-z1 with one of the three SATA disks as redundancy. With the current ZFS versions on Proxmox 9, you can safely add new disks to this setup, provided that they are of the same size as the existing disks...
Hi, I've read a lot of opinions here on the forum, but I wanted to share my case anyway.
I have a ZFS RAID. The disks are exposed in JBOD format. I wanted to add two disks to increase the space, but I understand that the wisest option...
