+A VDEV (Virtual Device) in ZFS is analogous to a RAID device and similarly offers different
 benefits in terms of redundancy and performance. In general VDEV's offer better reliability
 and safety than a RAID card. It is discouraged to use a RAID setup with ZFS, as ZFS expects
 to directly manage the underlying disks.
