ZFS is awesome, and gives end to end guarantees that your data is
good, which is more than any storage controller can claim.

With the purchase of Sun by Oracle, this may be a possibility, but ZFS
in non-Solaris OS's isn't that stellar.    Frankly, it's easier to lay
a linux or BSD like userland over the Solaris kernel ala Nexenta than
port ZFS to other kernels.
