I initialized two 14T drives intended to be mirrored but do show as available disks for ZFS. I was wondering what is best practice to change this? In the screen cap the drives to be used are /dev/sda (Storage) and /dev/sdc (Storagetwo). Any info is appreciated

Hi,

for ZFS the drives must be wiped clean, as it will use the whole drive and create its own partition table on them.

So you can just the Wipe Disk button to clean the partition table on both. Just double-check you selected the correct one when doing this, as it's an irreversible action!

After that, the drives should show up in the disk selector.
