Even though it's not directly ZFS related, I've seen some similar discussion on this list and maybe someone has "the final" answer to this problem, as most tips and "these things could help" I have found so far have not fully solved the problem. We are struggling with the behaviour of the combin

J4400 is using LSI/SiliconStor SS1320 Interposer cards to handle SATA HD With past experience, we have better luck with Hitachi SATA then WD SATA HD. Sun was using Hitachi HD, too. If you have me to choose, 7200 RPM SAS HD is still the best choice. Most of our customers use pure SAS HD on our JB
