Home Networking: 100TB 10Gbit Server - ZFS considerations (Performance, RAIDz vs RAID and Mirrors)

I think video I dive a little bit deeper into why I'm using a ZFS Pool with Mirror VDEVs instead of using the more commonly used RAIDz. I also talk about the differences between traditional RAID and RAIDz which have a bigger performance difference then you might expect!
