Hello, More for my own edification than to help Jason (sorry Jason!) I would like to clarify something. If read performance is paramount, am I correct in thinking RAIDZ is not the best way to go? Would not the ZFS equivalent of RAID 10 (striped mirror sets) offer better read performance? In this case, I realize that Jason also needs to maximize the space he has in order to store all of those legitimately copied Blu-Ray movies. ;-)
