ZFS is not for an standard laptop use.

That 8GB of RAM per 1TB of disk is for servers, like file servers. And it was never a hard & fast rule. Sun's original recomendation for installing Solaris 10 with ZFS root was 512MB for SPARC and a bit higher for x64. My old laptop, (x64), has 2GB of memory and runs with ZFS root just fine.

All that said, a bit more RAM helps with file system caching.

Now de-duplication is a real memory eater. Never use de-dup unless you are a hard core server admin.
