(I saw a lot of Pawels work and presentations but I cannot remember this topic) since if ZFS can recover from that, it would be a great addition and save a bucket of money (and speed up the new 500GB disks, though my current system needs additional SATA ports before it can support that at all). Thanks for commenting! Hi Marius,

Imo it is way better than any hardware solution, be it cheap or expensive battery baked. Why not use raidz from zfs?
