How to make my boot drive RAIDz1

TrueNAS General

Performing some maintenance on my server and realized I have a spare SATA port and also a spare SSD lying around.

My current boot drive is a single 120gb SSD. I have a 256gb SSD I can throw in to give my boot drive some redundancy so a failure won’t crash my server.

What is the best way to add this drive and make my boot drive raidz1?

Do you mean a mirror vdev? This is possible in the Boot system menu.

Yes that’s what I meant.

So I can manually just mirror an existing drive? Fantastic.
