I'm going to migrate my home storage array from ReFS Storage Spaces to ZFS, possibly OmniOS with napp-it. Before I tear down the Storage Space array, what sort of before-and-after benchmarks would you all like to see? I have to be able to run the benchmark software in both Windows and OmniOS.

Note that this will NOT be an apples-to-apples comparison as I will be virtualizing ZFS and significantly upgrading the hardware, but in a way that isn't necessarily even easy to do with Storage Spaces, so perhaps it will be instructive for someone in the same shoes as me.

Whoops, I edited the title and post. Yeah, I'm running an ReFS Storage Space. How do you check the ReFS version?

My current array is:
  • 4 x 3TB, 4 x 6TB array
  • All WD Red drives
  • 2-column, mirrored
  • ReFS file system
When I upgraded to Storage Spaces I did an ReFS vs. NTFS comparison, here are those numbers:
