Ok thank you so much for your help!

OK thanks for your help! This seems like a very stupid question but is it even possible to set up Freenas with 2 storage drives?

Alternatively could I install only of the drives then transfer the data from the first drive to it then install the second drive and turn it into a raid1 (or whatever it is with ZFS)

yeah it's raid1 my bad. If i bought another 8tb drive then put everything on there would there be a way to set up Freenas with two of the drives put all the data on then add the final the new drive to make a RAID5?

Hi! I'm planning on turning an old Dell Inspiron into a NAS for backups and a Plex server. Right now I have two (relatively new) 8tb hard drives in a Raid 5(configured using mdadm on Linux if that matters) connected to my computer that I am using for backups. These drives have years of backups which I have to keep. I would like to use these two drives in the NAS in the ZFS equivalent to a Raid 5. Is there a way to use these in the NAS without having to format them or otherwise lose the data? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so, so much! These are great! The 27" also look great (in my question, I meant to write above 25"), I looks online and there didn't seem to be any differences. Are there any drawbacks to those? I looked at the Dell Ultrasharp U2719DX 27-Inch WQHD 2560x1440 specifically.

GPU for sure.

Hi! I have been 3D modeling (not as much CAD as more artistic stuff), programing and illustrating (in that order) for years and I finally decided to get a second monitor but I need help deciding which one to buy. I have a budget of $600 (maybe $700 max), I know I want a IPS (viewing angles + color accuracy), under 4k is fine (1440p would be ideal), and 25" would be great. I looked around online but it was hard to sift through and most of the options were either not feature rich enough or had me paying for features I didn't need (variable refresh rates, high refresh rates or were for "pros" which meant $1000+ typically). If anyone could shed any light on this situation it would be much appreciated!
