My experience with ZFS on my home NAS: started with 6 2TB greens, 1 boot, 5 raidz1, got 5 3TB greens in another raidz1. One of each failed, replaced. Recently got 6 8TB SMR drives in a raidz2. Never used ECC ram, too expensive. No problem with LSI raid cards, or SAS backplane. Most important advice: People aren't kidding when they say your zpool will slow down when it's almost full. Online resizing of md arrays isn't reliable, my friend lost terabytes. ZFS is 10 years old, well tested.
