Since you are running disks less than 2TB I would suggest a more

There would be raid redundancy with the ability for grub to boot off
either disk.
terrible idea in 2020
Intel announced yeas ago that they itend to remove legacy bios booting
in 2020 and even if it#s just in 2022: RAID machines are supposed to
live many many years and you just move the disks to your next machine
and boot as yesterday
i argued like you in 2011 and now i have a 4x2 TB RAID10 and need to
deal with EFI-partition on a USB stick with the replacement as soon as
there are icelake or never serious desktop machines because there is no
single reason to reinstall from scratch when you survived already 17
fedora dist-upgrades
I guess my assumptions were that in using 2TB disks this was or would be
a relatively short-lived/limited situation possibly using an older
motherboard. ;-)
Since the setup will be grub/UEFI on the 2TB disks what would be the
process in upgrading to larger disks?
Thanks
