I'm relatively new to ZFS/RAID and am looking for some advice on how to configure some old hard drives that I've had lying around for years that I haven't done anything with. They'd be primarily used for seeding torrents. I'd prefer some redundancy so I don't randomly lose data, but also because some of the drives are old and are more likely to fail. I'm not necessarily dead set on ZFS and am open to other options as well if they'd be more applicable.

The HDDs I have are:

1x 1 TB
2x 2 TB
1x 750 GB
1x 500 GB
