Every where I read something about NAS RAIDs its said that data should be saved in ZFS.
I cannot find answers to my questions.
1) Why should I save my data in a file-system that cannot be used by Windows 10?
2) How can I save data from my Windows 10 PC on a ZFS filesystem on the NAS when Windows does use NTFS is this even possible?
can I work diretly on one of the drives within the nas (local network)? Or is it performancewise so bad? And do you not feel uncomfertable to store data in a zfs format, I mean it cannot be processed by windows...??? – Gernot – 2017-04-21T21:32:49.727
Depending on the NAS you should be able to work on the files directly. ZFS performance is very good relative to other options (on same hardware). I dont use With windows for anything important, but limited support is a legitimate concern. (I am more concerned about RAM issues which could cause unrecoverable loss) but ZFS is production ready. I guess just make sure your backup regime - at a file level - is solid. – davidgo – 2017-04-22T01:11:22.657
2Very good answer, just a small nitpick: ZFS is not exactly new anymore, but over 11 years old and mature. Some of its features are even decades old and have been used in other systems, but not in the same combination and on commodity (cheap) hardware. – user121391 – 2017-04-24T07:08:22.593
