it's somewhat theoretical (take it for what it's worth) but
it spells out some of the tradeoffs in the RAID-Z vs Mirror

As for serving NFS, the user experience is very much
impacted by the I/O latency, so any form of 'persistent' RAM
on the server side allows NFS to service frequent commit
operations without having to wait for rotational latency.
