Amongst the most recent interesting developments: 

   - persistent L2ARC, which may be thought of (in some cases) as a Fusion 
   Drive that survives when the fast media e.g. solid state drive is 
   temporarily disconnected – I'll have links for that later
   - work towards multiplatform (OpenZFS-oriented) encryption 
   https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/494#issuecomment-180720347 is 
   where I last commented on that development.


https://fuzzy.wordpress.com/2015/11/07/os-x-10-9-5-stops-responding-with-openzfs-on-os-x-1-4-5/
 
reflects my most recent experience with OpenZFS on OS X. My testing was in 
some ways more aggressive than an 'average' end user. YMMV; you may find it 
entirely trouble-free. 

For me the best OS for ZFS is PC-BSD, http://www.pcbsd.org/ – the most 
recent release (10.2) is certainly not for all Macs, but a future release 
(11.0 or beyond) almost certainly will be my preferred OS on a Mac. In the 
meantime I'm testing PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENTNOV2015 and 11.0-CURRENTFEB2016.
