Metadata VDEV impact is "not noticeable" / it "does not perform as expected"

Electric Eel allows you to add a 4th (or 5th etc) drive to a 3 drive RaidZ1.

@Protopia has provided a way to create 3 drive RaidZ1 with only two drives.

You can do it with 1 drive if you partition it.

EDIT: apparently it also allows 2-drive raidz1.
