ZFS, which stands for Z File System, is a cutting-edge file system which delivers top performance for websites and online apps. One of its major advantages is the real-time checksum comparison - each file has a checksum, or a digital fingerprint, and ZFS compares the checksums of all files between the several hard disks working together within a RAID. If any file is damaged for whatever reason on one of the drives, it is restored from another drive with the correct checksum. This way, the integrity of any file stored on a hosting server is ensured all of the time. ZFS also operates considerably faster than other file systems, that enables backups to be created much faster and without slowing down the performance of the entire machine. In addition, ZFS doesn't have a set limit for the total number of files which may be stored on a web server while all other file systems have some restriction which might cause problems at some point, especially for script apps that have a huge number of files.
