I have selected the 2 redundant disks raid option. I am at the point where I assign the disks to the zpool. I have 8 disks listed. These have the dev ids: ada0-ada3 and da0-da3. The descriptions of the four adaX devs all begin with 'WDC WD30EFRX-...' . The descriptions of the four daX devs all begin with 'ATA WDC WD30EFRX-...'.
