https://wiki.debian.org/ZFS


But:

- ZFS wants lots of memory.  The rule of thumb is 5 GB of memory for 
every 1 TB of storage.

- ECC memory is safer than non-ECC memory.

- Consider getting two HDD's and creating a mirror.

- "compression=on" is lightweight and generally useful.

- "dedup" is heavyweight, slow on HDD's (due to seek latency), and not 
recommended for general workloads.

- Consider getting a NAS or an entry-level server.
