Under "Resilient storage", I see

"Mirror. Writes data in a stripe across multiple disks while also
writing one or two extra copies of the data. Use the mirror layout for
most workloads – it helps protect your data from disk failures and
provides great performance, especially when you add some SSDs to your
storage pool and use storage tiers."

Is this telling me what I hope it is: that I could set up a Storage
Space across a dozen or so drives and have up to two drives fail without
losing data?


If that's what you're after, why not just use FlexRaid or SnapRaid? They
do the same thing.
