Since the title is clickbaity: they had issues with ZFS due to too-high a blocksize and too-high a filesystem utilization, so they upgraded to ZFS 2 for the Zst

  Is it clickbaity if they actually did save millions in SSD costs? What would you suggest as a non-clickbaity title? Just "Upgrading Our Filesystem" leaves out the important parts (the why and the results). A lot of the time I agree that titles can be quite clickbaity. But this one doesn't really seem to be... At least to me. The company upgraded their filesystem and it saved them a bunch of money. Title feels appropriate. If the title were "Top ways to save millions on SSDs!" or similar, I'd wholeheartedly agree.

    But: >Total storage usage reduced by ~21% (for our dataset, this is on the order of petabytes) If 21% reduction is "millions" they should be spending in excess of 10 millions (each what? week/month/year?) provided that there is a linear correlation between storage usage and (failed and needing to be replaced?) SSD costs.

  There's a reason I click to the comments first most of the time.
