Hi,
I prematurely set up my TrueNAS with one stripe 2TB SSD. Then I added a few apps, and as I’m a newb, this was a steep (but fun) learing curve. I have 1TB filled up already and saw the writing on the wall- so I ordered 2 x 2TB.
The plan is to have 3 x 2TB SSD drives in RAID Z1. The 2 new drives are already physically installed.
I also have a 128G USB stick installed if needed (maybe to temporarily hold 61G of photos to save a re-upload from the phones themselves).
The rest of the data is shows, music etc. that is currently on my laptop (not the NAS) and can be re-downloaded to the NAS after I have the new drives added in Z1.
True NAS version 25.04.2.1

Do I need to just nuke everything and start over? Meaning- delete the current pool, and start a new pool in the new RAID configuration?
-
Is there any way to avoid reinstallation of the apps? Jellyfin, Immich, Filebrowser if that matters
-
Am barking up the wrong tree here? Anything you would be doing differently?
Thanks, I appreciate the input and hope this was presented in a palatable manner.
EDIT: Am thinking of moving the pool as outlined HERE to the USB, re-doing the 3 SSD drives, then moving it back…
