Basically this flowchart:

“Are you happy with your life?”

No

YOU NEED A FASTER POOL :index_pointing_at_the_viewer: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Yes

I don’t believe you. Try another answer.

An even better flowchart but probably a little bit too snarky flowchart would be:
You are using RAIDZ for anything else than large files? Fu** off mate!
You use blockstorage on HDDs? Fu** off mate!
You store your data in a Windows VM → in a 40TB qcow2 disk → on ZFS? Fu** off mate and please never store any data again!
