i use one of those 64G kingston jmicron/toshiba drives in my mac.
The stuttering problems attributed to the older jmicron drives are
non-existent with this one in my experience.
This is great news. I've read this but it's good to know that someone on

Having gotten back to the Rep and asked further questions, I'm forced to
agree - the rep doesn't know what they're talking about.
It does look like the Intel based 40G Kinsgston may not yet be available
in australia.
What a drag. :-)

The SNV125-S2/40GB is the half an X25-M drive which can be often
found as a bare OEM drive for about $85 w/ rebate.
Kingston does sell rebranded Intel SLC drives as well, but under a
different model number: SNE-125S2/32 or SNE-125S2/64. I don't believe

8 gb ddr2 800 unbuffered ECC

Start with zilstat, which will help you determine if your workload

I guess it depends on your workload and your performance

If you need the separate log, then you can figure the relative latency
gain for
Myself and others had good luck with the OCZ vertex. I use two 30GB versions
and they have very high write and read throughputs for such a cheap MLC.

Basically, if i have 3 raidz2 groups or 4 raidz groups with a total of 20
7200 RPM drives is using a cheaper MLC drive going to make things WORSE?
thanks for the idea though, i may
They are fast when they are new. Once all the blocks are written, performance
degrades significantly. SLC will also degrade over time, but when it needs to
erase blocks and rewrite, it is much faster than MLC. That's why for ZIL, SLC
SSD is prefered.
It's possible to remove MLC ZIL and use
so are you saying that the degrading problem with ssd's can be fixed
completely with such a utility?
Don't they STILL wear out and become more or less broken after heavy use

You can use the utility to erase all blocks and regain performance, but it's a
manual process and quite complex. Windows 7 support TRIM, if SSD firmware also
supports it, the process is run in the background so you will not notice
performance degrade. I don't think any other OS supports TRIM.
Fast is a relative term, because even after the first write to the end, they
are still really fast for a small server and the latency is still low 1ms
which is often more important than throughput. The topic said poor mans slog.
The vertexes can be had for $100 and the vertex turbo a little

I disagree that those drives are good enough. That particular drive
uses the dreaded JMicron controller -
I disagree that those drives are good enough. That particular drive

Even though these drives use a newer revision of the original JMicron
