Hello!

I=92m running FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE with a zpool in raidz1 with 5 2TB =
disks.
Now I=92m planning to expand the pool with a vdev with the same =
effective size (8TB).
Would it be a bad idea to add 3 4TB disks in raidz1 to the pool instead =
of another 5 2TB disks?
What could be the disadvantage with such a setup?

Regards
Stefan=
