+[3] - ZFS and Btrfs provide bit-rot protection comparable to SnapRAID, always verifying data before use.
+In this regard, all three solutions represent the state of the art.
-A cons of ZFS is that the default Fletcher
-checksum is a choice that favorites speed over quality.
-The same for the default CRC32C used by Btrfs.
-The 128 bits SpookyHash
-used by SnapRAID is instead the state-of-the-art in checksumming quality,
-without compromising in speed.
+One drawback of ZFS is that the default Fletcher checksum prioritizes speed over reliability.
+Even though it is a 256-bit checksum, Fletcher is generally considered weak. Similarly, Btrfs uses CRC32C by default, which is strong, but ony 32 bits.
+A better alternative is "edonr" for ZFS and "xxhash" for Btrfs.
+In contrast, SnapRAID uses the 128-bit SpookyHash,
+which provides state-of-the-art checksum quality without compromising speed.
-ZFS also uses a sub-optimal RAID-Z3 algorithm, that requires double computations than the equivalent SnapRAID's z-parity.
