It is difficult to buy anything but "giant ass disks" any more since 
that is mostly what they sell now.  IMHO a disk larger than 1TB 
already qualifies as a "giant ass disk" since resilver rates are not 
increasing (unless one switches to SSDs).

There is always the option of only using a fraction of the pool 
storage.

Regardless any zfs pool can fail, regardless of its theoretical level 
of data redundancy.
