Some answers (and questions) are here: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=102368&tstart=0 *** We need this explained in the ZFS FAQ by a Panel of Experts *** Q: I (we) have a Home Computer and desire to use ZFS with a few large, cheap, (consumer-grade) Drives. What can I expect from 3 Drives, would I be better off with 4 or 5. Please note: I doubt I can afford as many as 10 Drives nor could I stuff them into my Box so please suggest options that use less than that many (most prefefably less than 7). A: ?
