Hey Mike,
First of all, I'd strongly suggest going for raidz2 instead of raidz. Dual
parity protection is something I'd strongly recommended over single parity
protection.
You also don't mention your boot pool. You can't boot from a raid pool, so you
need to put one disk aside for booting

Well, since we are talking about ZFS any thread somewhere in ZFS module are
interesting, and there should not be too many of them. Though in this case
it is clear - it is trying to update config object and waits for the update
to sync. There should be another thread with stack similar

I hear everyone's concerns about multiple parity disks.
Are there any benchmarks or numbers showing the performance difference using a

It sounds like I could go with 15 disks evenly

No that isn't correct.

There is no such thing as zdev.

Much larger zpools built out of striped redundant vdevs (mirror, raidz1,
