This is not about tuning, but about choosing the right configuration from the start. I can surely buy the stuff and spend day's testing all kinds of scenario's to come to the best possible configuration. That all great, but I'd like to start these test with a bit of decent background so I know what to expect. So right now, I'm not babling about some ZFS tuning setting, but about the advantages and disadvantages of using ZFS, hardware raid, or a combination of the two.
