That's my understanding too. One (STEC?) drive as a write cache, basically a write optimised SSD. And cheaper, larger, read optimised SSD's for the read cache. I thought it was an odd strategy until I read into SSD's a little more and realised you really do have to think about your usage cases

If i'm not mistaken (and somebody please correct me if i'm wrong), the Sun 7000 series storage appliances (the Fishworks boxes) use enterprise SSDs, with dram caching. One such product is made by STEC. My understanding is that the Sun appliances use one SSD for the ZIL, and one as a read
