What is ZFSguru?

Are you one of many home users who store a lot of personal data, accumulated over the years, and want to store those in a safe and cool way? Then consider the advantages of using ZFSguru:

-Use high-quality RAID and filesystem technology provided by ZFS. Get rid of the bad quality RAID solutions available on Windows! -Use normal desktop harddrives without the risk of breaking your array. Windows onboard RAID and Hardware RAID configurations require you to buy expensive "RAID-edition" harddrives which have TLER-enabled firmware, increasing the cost of your build. -Includes a sectorsize override feature for 4K sector harddrives that emulate 512B sectors, like Samsung F4 and WD EARS. -Use cheap SATA controllers or HBAs instead of expensive RAID controllers; your onboard SATA and add-on PCI-express SAS/SATA ports are fine! Plus you can all combine them in one big pool if you want. -Enhance the data security of your stored files by enabling ZFS to use checksums to protect the integrity of your files. And if the unthinkable happens you want to know about it! No more silent corruption which plagues traditional RAIDs and RAID5 in particular. -Spend only seconds setting up and sharing your pool to the network; ready for use. -Easily upgrade the web-interface to a newer version with a few mouseclicks. -Install ZFSguru to your pool, allowing you to boot directly from ZFS, requiring no separate system disk.

*Features separate system versions ranging from FreeBSD 8.1 to 9.0 on both i386 and amd64 platforms *Allows installation on existing pool and boot support for RAID-Z, RAID-Z2 and other RAID configurations. *Uses the most advanced filesystem available to home users; ZFS. Versions 15 to 28 are supported. *Features different distribution types: LiveCD, Root-on-ZFS and Embedded. *Allows configuring of network, disks, ZFS pools and ZFS filesystems *Allows both basic and advanced disk benchmarking *Allows expanding pools with one or more disks (row-level expansion)
