Once you get it setup, start looking for homeassistant compatible hardware instead. There is a lot. Even some big brands use protocols (zigbee, zwave, matter) that can connect to homeassistant without a need for their hub (granted you do have a HA hub) or cloud connection.
I try to stay away from WiFi if possible, but if home assistant compatible I’ll use it.

That’s amazing. I’m on my own espresso journey. Even knowing all the theory going in, consistent execution can be elusive.
Good luck to you and cheers to great coffee at home.
Adding to this. A pressure cooker brings the cook time down dramatically and I think it produces a superior result.
Doesn’t losing a vdev cause the entire pool to be lost? I guess to your point with sufficient redundancy for new vdev 1 drive redundancy whether 3 disks or 5 is essentially the same risk. If a vdev is added without redundancy that would increase risk of losing the entire pool.

From Frank Herbert’s Dune
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test that it’s a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
Pretty sure it means “Very Ugly”.
Why doesn’t that joystick have drift!?
Yeah. I have a RAIDz2 on super old version of FreeNAS. 8x4TB.
I’ve been needing to upgrade for about a year now. I’ve been waiting for the prices to go lower…. News about WD forced my hand for 8x18TB. Not $$ I was looking to spend, but fomo that my upgrade could now be much further away pushed me to just do it. :(
