What is your opinion of ZFS when used for a home media center with large video files and small data files?
From my understanding FreeNAS uses ZFS, and it will stripe the data across all the drives in a volume/pool. This means small data files will spin-up all the hard drives.
It is also my understanding striping the drives means you can't pull drives out of the pool and open the files on another system.
It is also my understanding you can't add new drives to the pool. This would be a typical scenario of adding more storage space in the future.
