Eric,

I'm the other guy Paul has been mentioning. I added an Intel 32GB X25-E to a J4400 this morning. It's attached to an X4240 via an LSI 1068E based HBA. The system is also running NexentaStor (again, based on b104 ON bits). I added the SSD as a slog device and have been running iozone to generate activity, and FMA hasn't flagged the drive yet.

That's very useful information. Is this the same drive that produces bad data under diskstat when in a X4500, or is it just another drive of the same type? If it's the former, then it's a clear indication that there is a bug in the kernel SATL framework. I can try to come up with a utility that constructs a SATA pass-through command to get the underyling SATA datat (this will only work in the J4400).

Thanks,

- Eric

This system also has an Intel 32GB X25-E installed in one of the X4240's SAS slots, connected to the internal Adaptec RAID controller. No FMA complaints there either.

I'm in a position to run more tests if needed, as none of this hardware is in production yet.
