  • Existing Basic, Plus, and Pro licenses can be upgraded to higher levels of perpetual licenses.

    I think the difference is at what level:

    • don’t implement your own storage redundancy system at the kernel level with a small team in a closed-source fashion, because that’s the kind of thing that needs many eyes, lots of experience and many millions of hours real-world usage to fully debug and make sure it work.
    • do build your own system by combining pre-existing technologies that are built by experienced teams and tested/vetted by wide/popular usage.

    I feel OPs critique has some truth to it. I personally would rather stay with raidz by zfs, exactly because of it’s open nature (yes, they too have bugs, nothing is perfect).
