      It has RAID modes and it intelligently rearranges data s.t. commonly used files are stored in a fast drive and fetched from there, whereas BTRFS will write to and read from a “random” drive regardless of its speed.

      The previous solution of using btrfs raid1 + bcache (not the FS) separately was very wasteful because the cache had to store both/all copies of the data since btrfs picks a random drive to read from.

        Does it provide any advantages for home users? I can see how this could be useful in enterprise settings, but does it benefit regular desktop users?
