General warning: have a look at power safety issues before building all-SSD pools. Unless the drive is power-safe, you may find that writes acknowledged by the controller that are meant to be flushed aren't. There's been a reasonable amount of research, published on this, including one paper by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton and another supported by HP presented at FAST, and the general conclusion is that consumer SSDs don't get this right. Intel had some models that did this, but these features now appear to be exclusive to their data center products. Hitachi does not claim that the 850s are power safe, so they are only suitable for L2ARC.
Have you had a look at FMA telemetry for the devices? Cheers, Bayard On 25 September 2014 23:46, Andrew M.
