I have 4 disks, 1ssd 120gb, proxmox 8.1 is installed on this disk.
My other 3 discs
2TB
6tb
6tb
I want to turn these disks into a single pool of 14 TB. What method should I follow?

Ummm I do not think you want to do that mate... You want to create raid0 to have 14TB space??? You know when one one drive dies all your data is gone? Except you backup all that 14TB everyday lol

This will be a machine on which I will perform tests. I have no problem losing data. I want it to be a large area and in one piece. I want to use 3 disks in a single pool.

You can also manually create a ZFS pool using zpool create and add it to /etc/pve/storage.cfg.
It's just not exposed at the web UI level since it is not something that most people should ever need or do.

@Kenny43 what does zpool list -v show you? It advisable to create your vdevs using the UUID as the drive mapping i.e sda, sdc, etc could change after a reboot.
