Setting up a new Unraid system: ZFS or Array? Terms of flexible upgrades - power consumption etc.

Hi All

After a few years away from Unraid I'm back to building a few new systems. My question(s) is simple:

From a power consumption aspect in mind is upgrade is ZFS better than the traditional array method? As I understand it (please correct me if wrong), if I use a ZFS setup all the drives have to be spinning for the data to be accessed and mixing and matching drives is (currently) pretty much out of the question.

Like most of us my homelabs are running 24/7 so I'm planning to have them power/spin down the hardware to reduce power costs so I'm thinking the array method still best suits my needs.

Thoughts welcomed
Paul

    Array will typically be better for power consumption.
