Correct, I had gone back and forth between RaidZ2 and a pair of Mirrors.
I needed the space to be extendable, but I calculated my usage growth
to be below the rate at which drive prices were falling, so I could

would buy me a set of bigger ones when the time came.

I did also investigate USB3 external enclosures, they're pretty
fast these days.
