Btrfs gets a bad rap sometimes but I have been using it for years and it works very well. It is able to take failing hardware and power outages and still has good performance.

    My anecdotal experience with btrfs is that it constantly broke in raid 1, no problems with any other filesystems on the exact same hardware and setup. YMMV

        Last year, unraid, identical SSDs. I changed so many sata and power cables, so many settings.

      I love it for single drives, but for RAID, ZFS all the way.

        ZFS also supports single drives, is there a reason to use btrfs instead?

          IIRC it works with TimeShift, aka time machine for Linux.
