      Hello,
      I'm making a fresh new 2.8.0 install and would like to use ZFS mirror on two SSD; unfortunately everytime I choose an ssd I get this error "selected disk installation option failed in pre-check".
      SSD are from different manufacturer, tested and no errors found.
      Any help is welcome.
      Thank you

      ....ops....sorry wrong forum section, can some moderator move this in the correct one please?

      J3455M-E Asus motherboard
      8gb ram (2x 4gb Micron MT8JTF51264AZ-1G6E1)
      128Gb SSD
      Kolink Satellite midi tower case micro-atx
      quad lan card HP NC364T

        Can you get some screenshots of your selections and the error?

          @stephenw10 unfortunately not, I had to go with a stripe installation cause I need my lan working again. I maybe will have time to try a new install again in the weekend.
          Do you suspect some faults on my side? Are there some mandatory specs of the SSD to perform a mirror installation that are not documented?
          Thank you

            There shouldn't be anything special required there. You should be able to use any two drives in a ZFS mirror. I'd recommend using identical drives though if you can.
