[QUOTE="ara, post: 356147, member: 1336"] It is a bit like Vinyl vs Digital Once you have dealt with ZFS (although it also have it's quirks) I guess you will never go back to anything else (at least not me). The big advantage of ZFS I would say is as follows: 1. The ability to scale very large and speed (That is why the Linux crowd have tried to implement it and why they are now trying to implement their own new file system). To give an idea I recently had a HDD failure and it is Raid-6 (Raid-Z2 in ZFS speak) and it took 11 hours to recover/rebuild/resilver 36TB of data. 2. That it is very hardware, os (to a big extent), etc indepent. So you can just normally export a zfs pool (like raid) and import into the next OS that supports ZFS 3. The ability to have very fast, small footprint snapshots for rolling back to previous versions. 4. Deduplication of files to store only links to files that are the same and only keep one (this you can't though do on a MicroServer) 5. It does not suffer from "raid rot" that causes loss of data overtime without you/your system knowing about it. [/QUOTE]
