Sun has open sourced the ZFS filesystem, which is a very cool thing. IMO it would be nice to have the N5200 use/support this filesystem as it adds an other level of data-security, autocompression, encryption and reliabilty.

Having zfs would help speed up some operations, but currently it's not prime-time on solaris, so it'll be a while before it comes to linux and to the embedded market.

You're not going to see ZFS anytime soon. The license that Sun have released it under is GPL incompatible, so it can't be integrated into the kernel. There's an attempt at a FUSE port, but while that may mean Linux can mount a ZFS partition, it won't give you the full feature set that people want from ZFS.
Right now, if you want ZFS you're better using OpenSolaris. It is an amazingly cool filesystem though...

It's worth noting that ext4 is seeing some very good performance numbers. Since I think the thecus is targeted at customers who will be storing large files, the efficiencies of being able to allocate large extents for large files is a big win.
