Interestingly, I couldn’t see any comparison of resource usage. Because ZFS has a reputation as a CPU and memory hog, while Linux software RAID seems to need very little of this. In short, ZFS is probably best deployed on a dedicated storage server, rather than a machine which is shared with other workloads.
