I have a ZIL/Slog composed of a mirrored-pair of Intel DC P3700 SSDs, which have power loss protection (PLP).
I’m interested in obtaining some SSDs for a zpool storing “hot data” (web, email, etc.) separate from another zpool for “cool data” (large media files, backups, etc.). I plan to partition the 400GB P3700 and use half for each zpool. For the SSDs, there appears to be roughly three categories: 1) DRAM-less 2) DRAM w/o PLP 3) DRAM w/ PLP It seems that DRAM-less might be best, so that the drives don’t lie to the ZIL about having persisted data to the NAND, right? Some might say that category (3) are the best drives, but wouldn’t all their fancy features be redundant in this application, and it would be cheaper to centralize the PLP-function than having it in each drive the the zpool?
