Thanks, this makes a ton of sense. I appreciate it.

If I understand correctly, part of the appeal of hexos is to suggest configurations based on what hardware you have. I'd like for there to be a online calculator or similar so I can see how many drives I should buy and at what capacity to reach my desired useable capacity using hexos's suggestions. I know there are already tools for this, but I don't know what to plug into the calculator, especially when we are talking about ZFS and not RAID.
