    [SOLVED] Install Proxmox to SSD and then add another SSD for RAID-1 later?

    I have a server I've installed Proxmox onto that has one SSD for the main system installation. I'd like to add an identical drive in a month to mirror my base install as a software RAID-1 (raidz maybe?) so I don't have any down time for when the primary SSD fails. Can this be done, and if so, how?
