Btrfs gets a bad rap sometimes but I have been using it for years and it works very well. It is able to take failing hardware and power outages and still has good performance.

My anecdotal experience with btrfs is that it constantly broke in raid 1, no problems with any other filesystems on the exact same hardware and setup. YMMV

How long ago was that? Modern btrfs is pretty stable.

Last year, unraid, identical SSDs. I changed so many sata and power cables, so many settings.

For those without knowledge: Alternatives to BTRFS are what? EXT4 or NTFS?
