I suggest creating a ZFS mirrored storage pool using the 500 GB SSD's:

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gaynr/index.html


Later, you could add mirrored 1 TB SSD's to the pool:

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37838_01/html/E61017/gayrd.html


And remove the 500 GB SSD mirror from the pool:
