If you understood how ZFS commits data to disk you'd not be making these  
statements. Also, if you take snapshots you can just roll back if there is  
any weirdness at all.

Another important point:

With 24 ZFS mirrors you'd have your data being striped across ALL the  
mirrors. This will yield much better performance.
