+Notes:
+* For single drives/blocks, I prefer BTRFS for it's feature set.
+* For multiple drives, ZFS is often preferred for it's reliability.
+* bcachefs is still under development
+For multi-drive deployment, my preferences are:
+* If you have multiple same-sized disks and no need for expansion, use ZFS raid.
+* If you have different sized disks, want maximum storage, and don't need live parity then use snapraid + btrfs + mergerfs.
+* If you need real-time parity and expansion and don't mind slow rebuilds, use mdraid + btrfs.
