That's not completely true.  By default ZFS stores 2 copies of most
metadata and can be configured to store up to 3 copies (on top of pool
redundancy) of all data (check the "copies" and "redundant_metadata"
properties of the filesystem).  Obviously, if all the copies are on
one device, it won't help if the device bricks itself or all the
copies wind up on the corrupt sectors but it can help recovering from
a glitch that took out a page or two.  (It would also be possible to
setup a ZFS mirror between a SDcard and a USB flash stick).
