I'm not actually. Software RAID like ZFS doesn't let you grow your arrays over time which is a shame. I use mhddfs which makes multiple drives look like one without the splitting of files across the drives. This means expanding the storage is a breeze. Sure I don't have any resiliency, however I would only lose one drives worth of stuff if something went wrong. Also I don't have to have the same size disks, it just happened to be all the same at this time. I have slowly moved from 4x2TB and the next drive I add will probably be 8TB.
