I do not recommend to use it. My experiences are same what I read this site:

http://breden.org.uk/2009/09/02/home-fileserver-handling-pool-errors/

The SSD produced an error under only one week. I do not wan to use daily scrub and clear the zpool error. My SSD was Samsung SSD 830 not OCZ. First I tried USB stick mirror. It worked for 6 months. Now I use HDD mirror for rpool. I've not seen any error that mirror rpool. For me it is very important the error free working OS. It is important than the speed. This was my own opinion but u can use what you want. :)

At that point, OI doesn't see the real disks, so no configuration and no 
possible issues (other than unforeseen surprises in the VBox guest additions).

Still, why OI if you can't benefit from ZFS?

First, thank you both for the great input.

For best performance and longer life remember to edit sd.conf with the
proper tags for your disks, in order to use 4K / 8K blocks.
One other aspect that has occurred to me after seeing the responses:

This maybe a vbox vm hosted on a windows 7 host (2x xeon HP xw8600
Workstation). (I haven't decided yet whether to dedicate that hardware
to a real install of oi or leave it as I bought it with OS windows7
and go the vm route)

And in that case it would be virtual drives being created on SSD
hardware.

Will that setup be likely to be more problematic than a non-virtual
install of oi on that hardware?
