Not having RAID 5 and 6 is not ideal, yes. Then again, I will hasard than most potential users, including home NAS users, have at most two HDD.
Btrfs also has some advantages for personal use when you compare it to ZFS: it supports combining disks of different sizes and is easier to grow.
- protomyth 6y agohome NAS users, have at most two HDD. I think that's wrong. A lot of 4 drive models are in stores end users shop.
- brmgb 6y ago> [most potential users, including] home NAS users, have at most two HDD. Let's not truncate this sentence to avoid altering its meaning. I certainly don't deny four drives NAS exist but I think dual bays are still a lot more common. Anecdotally I know a lot of people with one drive NAS (some ISP provide them here), a few people with two drives NAS (including me) and no one with four drives (but I don't know anyone heavily into photography or video which seem to be the main usage). My point was that you can still address a large segment of the home users market without RAID 5 and RAID 6.
