Coming from Synology and miss this setting. I think it make a hard link if you copy a file to the same drive. So both speed and space saving. First thought ZFS deduplication was the same thing but it seems like its not, and that ZFS deduplication is really resource heavy in contrast.

It's not, but block cloning is, it should be availed with zfs once 6.13 goes to stable, since for now it's disabled by default by openzfs, but it's already available with xfs and btrfs over SMB.
