ZFS isn't that great for performance. For large data-stores, it's great. It has a lot of good features and adding new harddrives to a zpool is a snap.<br><br>I always recommend to setup a hotspare (or 2) with any zpool. I've run into data errors in the past with zfs, but you can usually fix it with a zpool scrub if you setup a RAIDZ or mirror. (I recommend running a scrub occasionally to identify any integrity issues)<br>

<br>
The box in question will have 8 SATA drives on it. The RAID card (which isn't going to be doing any RAID) has four SATA ports. There's four more SATA ports on the motherboard.<br>
<br>
Anything I should be concerned about here in terms of performance and data integrity?<br>
