@ElDiPablo I don't think anyone really uses compression, it works great in theory, but problem like any compression is it only works on certain file types. Most file servers that benefit form that are already using compressed files, like jpeg and mpeg. I also use BTRFS in a 3 drive raid0 "dynamic volume" this device has been used for countless data dumps over a year period. Never had any data issues. I read many mixed results about BTRFS, but I never had an issue.

@ak47gen I did use ZFS, but I did not enable de-dupe or compression as I don't have enough RAM installed.

Did you use ZFS for your filesystem?
