ZFS Is the Best Filesystem For Now
> ZFS never really adapted to today’s world of widely-available flash storage: Although flash can be used to support the ZIL and L2ARC caches, these are of dubious value in a system with sufficient RAM, and ZFS has no true hybrid storage capability.<p>How is L2ARC not "true hybrid"?<p>> And no one is talking about NVMe even though it’s everywhere in performance PC’s.<p>Why should a filesystem care about NVMe? It's a different layer. ZFS generally doesn't care if it's IDE, SATA, NVMe or a microSD card.<p>> can be a pain to use (except in FreeBSD, Solaris, and purpose-built appliances)<p>I think it's just a package install away on many Linux distros? Also installable on macOS — I had a ZFS USB disk I shared between Mac and FreeBSD.<p>Also it's interesting that these two sentences appear in the same article:<p>> best level of data protection in a small office/home office (SOHO) environment.<p>> It’s laughable that the ZFS documentation obsesses over a few GB of SLC flash when multi-TB 3D NAND drives are on the market<p>Who has enough money to get a mutli-TB SSD for SOHO?!
