Re: [zfs-discuss] Recommendations for an l2arc device?
I use the Intel X25-V and I like it :) Actuall I have 2 in a striped setup. 40 MB Write / Sec (just enought for ZIL filling) something like 130 MB / sec reads. Just enough. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

with the Intel product...but save a few more pennies up and get the X-25M. The extra boost on read and write performance is worth it. Or use multiple X25-V (L2ARC is not filled fast anyhow, so write does not matter). You can get 4 of them for 1 160 GB X25-M. With 4 X25-V you get ~500 MB /sec instead of ~ 140 MB / sec with the X25-M - much better value for the same price :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

I'm unlikely to add more than one device to the l2arc anytime soon, either. If I do use two devices, I'd be at $180 vs. $260. The Indilinx controllers support garbage collection when they're idle, which may help performance as well. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
