As I understand it that is a factually inaccurate statement. You are free to use a DIF/DIX solution which is part of the T10 SCSI specification and as such an open(ish) standard. That is if you pay a suitable amount you will get a copy of the standard and are free to implement it. It is arguably more open than ZFS that has licensing issues. Further as I understand it the DIF/DIX solution is actually better than the ZFS solution on a number of counts, that revolve around it being baked into the hardware. JAB. -- Jonathan A.
