The two views show MinisCloud OS managing two separate single-disk ZFS storage pools:

Storage Pool 1 — syspool: Hard Disk 1, 6TB Toshiba MG04ACA600E; 29.93GB used of 5.33TB.
Storage Pool 2 — pool-a04: Hard Disk 2, identical 6TB Toshiba drive; 64.37GB used of 5.33TB.

Both pools report Normal/Healthy, but single-disk mode provides no redundancy. Failure of either disk would result in the loss of that pool’s data. I set up this arrangement purely for testing the OS, simply to demonstrate that it’s possible to create separate storage pools in single-disk mode.

The Hard Disk view reports the drives at 40°C and 39°C, running at 7,200RPM, with disk-management and S.M.A.R.T. controls available. It also detects a 2TB USB drive containing three partitions: a 600MB FAT32 partition, a 2GB ext4 partition and a roughly 2TB Btrfs partition labelled fedora. This is an external NVMe drive attached to one of the USB4 ports.
