This is one of the best homelab servers I ever had. Not the most powerful, but really silent, very small footprint and it feels so reliable compared to much higher-speced (but same price range) computers I've had in the past. Really love it.

are you using it as redundant or just extra storage? can the pi just treat both drives as one with total capacity of the sum of both?

do you know if the drives have to be the same size?

I don't think so. The linux LVM can handle any drive combination. But not an expert.

They appear as two separate devices (and then I joined them in a single logical volume)
