About:
OpenZFS on OS X provides a port of the OpenZFS filesystem to macOS, enabling advanced data management features like snapshots, checksumming, and compression. It delivers enterprise-grade storage capabilities for data integrity and protection. This allows Mac users to leverage robust ZFS volumes for local or attached storage needs.
Key Features:
  • Native ZFS read/write support
  • Data integrity verification and checksumming
  • Snapshot and clone capabilities
  • RAID-Z redundancy support
Use Cases:
  • Creating self-healing storage pools on Mac hardware
  • High-speed data backup using ZFS snapshots
  • Media server storage requiring data integrity
Alternatives:
  • Disk Utility APFS – Apple's native filesystem lacks ZFS features like data scrubbing and snapshots
  • ZFS on Linux – Linux port with similar features but requires different platform
