"There is a discussion at osnews.com about a simple question: "Should ZFS Have a fsck Tool?". The answer is simple: No. I could stop now, as this answer is pretty obvious when you work a while with ZFS, but i want to explain my position. And i want to ask a different question at the end."

At first you should to throw the sub-sub-substandard hardware in the next available trash bin after copying the the data to a storage subsystem of better quality and wiping the old disks.
Well, one of the most common ZFS catchphrases is that you can do reliable storage with very cheap disks - so it's quite probable that users and enterprises will do exactly that, don't you think?
what would also be interesting is a sort of HCL or a set of criteria with which the average user can decide which of his set of harddisks he should not use zfs on. It's not like there are so many harddisk manufacturs, so how can we decide which of their harddisks we can trust our data to?
