January 20, 20251 yr currently I have a cache pool made up of 2 identical 1TB SSD configured as RAID 1 These are BTRFS since ZFS is now available on UNRaid7 and my upgrade seems to have succeeded without error. I'm wondering f there is any benefit to leaving the cache pool as BTRFS or moving to ZFS? I'm aware that a ZFS pool only uses the max space of the smallest disk, but in my scenario I'm always planning on having matching disk sizes. so short q, are there any benefits one way or the other in my use case between BTRFS/ZFS or is there nothing in it? thanks in advance Edited January 20, 20251 yr by markiii
January 20, 20251 yr I would recommend zfs for two things, it's best at recovering from a dropped device, and it stripes both devices for reads, resulting in better read speed. 58 minutes ago, markiii said: I'm aware that a ZFS pool only uses the max space of the smallest disk, but in my scenario I'm always planning on having matching disk sizes. This would also be an issue with a btrfs mirror.
