- adgjlsfhk1 1y agoIMO the main reason is that ~90% of ZFS benefits only show up with multiple drives which (unfortunately) is fairly uncommon outside of servers.
- jajuuka 1y agoThat's a major benefit of ZFS for sure, but I think being copy on write is another major benefit for single disk systems. ZFS is the only one I know of that has a full feature set and is supported on every major OS.
- e12e 1y agoCross platform encryption, backup/restore (zfs send/receive), large file support are all great reasons to use zfs.
