ZFS is my go-to file system for storing lots of data
ZFS has some impressive features that make it one of (if not) the best file systems for storing lots of data on your NAS. Here's why I use it.
The choice of file system matters quite a lot when it comes to storing data, especially when you're working with a lot of it. Your typical network-attached storage (NAS) may use EXT4 or BTRFS, and while these are excellent filesystems to store data and run operating systems, I opt for ZFS on my NAS and home lab hardware. That's largely down to its ability to create snapshots, which are invaluable for backups, rolling back to earlier save points, and recovering data. Think of them as save game crystals in Tomb Raider on PlayStation.
