So I have been doing a bit of reading about ZFS and it seems to have some advantages and disadvantages.
I mostly just use Windows for all the PC's in my house. So ZFS server would be the only Linux system in the house. So would any of the Window's PC's be able to access the server? If i used it solely for plex no big deal. But I have pictures and personal video on there as well. How can i access this data with a windows system?
I currently have this Adaptec Raid 51645 and I can't seem to find a reason not to just use it instead.
With a ZFS system I would need to have ECC ram. With the adaptec raid card i shouldn't have too since it controls all the data.
I have seen a lot of ZFS builds on here and just curious how everyone accesses the data. Maybe I am just missing something. Are all these people using linux for their main OS? Also how would I copy data from my current windows 7TB raid 5 array over to the ZFS array that is in linux?
