When I say fast that's mean I already do some benchmarks with iozone. And
do some graphs to see what the performance are.
What I can say is it's go lot faster than H700+ 12 disk 600 15k/min.
And I do those tests on FreeBSD with 12 disk, 24 disk, 36 disk and finaly
48 disk.
All I can say is ZFS go faster than 12 disk with H700 (and ext3) almost
every time.
If you like I can privalty send you the url of those graph. Just ask me,

Yes, but I think that's not a good idea to buy a server with 4 Go and make
him manage 100To through ZFS....
