NVMe stripe: ZFS or LVM?

I’ve finally gotten frustrated with my (small) zfs pool of HDDs and ordered two used Intel P4510 8TB U.2 nvme drives to replace it. I’m already familiar with ZFS (not with LVM) so my default solution to pool the drives into one logical volume would be a ZFS stripe, but I’m wondering if ZFS will hold the drives back significantly in terms of performance? I don’t need redundancy or really any of ZFS’s other features, though if the performance hit isn’t too severe I’ll use it anyway because I already know it…

Thanks guys.

If your goal is redundancy, integrity, and reliability, use ZFS.

If your goal is performance, use mdadm and/or lvm2.
