ZFS, which stands for Z File System, is an innovative file system which provides top performance for websites and online programs. One of its key advantages is the real-time checksum comparison - every file has a checksum, or a digital fingerprint, and ZFS compares the checksums of all the files between the several hard drives working together in a RAID. If any file is corrupted for some reason on one of the drives, it's restored from another travel with the correct checksum. Thus, the integrity of any file saved on a web server is guaranteed at all times. ZFS also works considerably faster than other file systems, that enables backups to be generated considerably faster and without slowing down the overall performance of the whole web server. Furthermore, ZFS does not have a set limit for the total number of files which may be stored on a server while all other file systems have some limit that might cause issues at some point, especially for script applications which have a lot of files.
