My experience with SSDs is that when they fail they are just gone; unlike an HDD where you can often tease data off a drive that zfs kicks out of the pool. Also; when a single slog dies, you lose your zpool and it's a real pain to rebuild it. ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
