Notes: | |||
* I prefer BTRFS for single-drive deployment. | |||
* bcachefs is still under development | |||
For multi-drive deployment, my preferences are: | |||
* If you have multiple same-sized disks, maxmimum storage, and no plans for expansion, use ZFS raidz1 or raidz2. | |||
* If you have different sized disks, maxmimum storage, want maximum size, 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. | |||
Windows: | |||
1. NTRFS | |||
2. ReF | |||
