Reject raid, ZFS supremacy
ZFS is essentially a raid implementation. The principle is the same. From what I hear it's probably the most popular implementation right now, and for good reason
It's a fair bit more than that, but yes in a sense it is RAID if you are using it across more than one drive (as you should). You can use ZFS on a single drive though, so it's a middle ground situation.
The main thing is to avoid hardware RAID controllers unless you have a really good reason, and that's generally what most people refer to as RAID. Generally folks are moving to JBOD setups with filesystems like ZFS now though
Ah well, I was not aware that people usually mean hardware when they say raid. Thanks for clearing that up.
