This is where ZFS has some potential to become even more important than it already is.

The reason you RAID a SSD is to protect against silent data corruption, which SSDs are not immune from. While you don't necessarily need RAID for this with ZFS, it certainly makes it easier.

The point about the insane abundance of CPU power is one that ZFS specifically takes advantage of right out of the starting gate.

I love the "...Into Humans" part of the byline. As if the chemical(s) in question do not leach out into the liquids if they are consumed by anything but humans. Leaching and ion exchange is a well known phenomena among chemists, which is why glass is still the most common container material when dealing with chemicals.

To understand a program you must become both the machine and the program.
