> Any comparison to BTRFS? ZFS RAID is production quality and safe to use. Not the case with Btrfs: * https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/btrfs-man5.html#raid56-status-and-recommended-practices https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/btrfs-man5.html#raid5... Certainly striping-mirroring will give you more IOps, but if you want more space efficiency for bulk storage, RAID-y solutions is probably better. ZFS has been in production use since Solaris 10u2 (June 2006), so we're approaching twenty years of it being banged on.

> ZFS RAID is production quality and safe to use. Not the case with Btrfs Btrfs works and has worked fine for RAID0 and RAID1. It is specifically RAID5, RAID6, et al. That said, I prefer ZFS (we'll see what happens when bcachefs is merged), though Synology DSM doesn't offer it and it can be a PITA to not being able to run latest Linux kernel. Especially (solely?) on a rolling distro I didn't like that. There's drivers for both to run under Windows btw.
