ZFS provides maximum peace of mind for storing all my data
Want to relax and unwind after setting up your NAS? Store all your data using ZFS, and you'll have access to snapshots, a powerful feature I rely on.

When building out your network-attached storage (NAS) enclosure or working with a few home lab servers, it's vital you get the filesystem right. The choice of filesystem depends on what you plan on using the system for and how you plan to go about backing up all the data. ZFS is a favorite among many for NAS and data storage, thanks to its robust feature set, namely snapshots. This handy addition to the file system makes it among the best for storing data, and I've relied on it for years to keep my servers up and running.
