ZFS, so many problem got solved for me all at once: no more having to spend money on hardware RAID cards, or having them end up being the single point of failure... so having to spend more on RAID cards. zfs-send really streamlines the backup process as well - so it actually happens. It basically made it possible to build an enterprise class SAN that I wouldn't have been able to otherwise afford. So not technically a 10x, more like a 10(x+1).
