I'm looking for something that will at least give me a workable disk
speed.  Right now, the disk speed is so slow that a web management GUI
that's been used widely for 20 years times out and doesn't work.

I'm reading about similar issues with zfs + nfs + vmware esxi; so this is
definitely NOT a SmartOS problem.  It's an unfortunate problem of mixing
technologies that do things differently.

I'm curious what kind of risk one is taking for disabling sync on a zvol
for an nfs mount of typical MS Office type files, no database type
transactions?

I've only used Samsung type SSDs, but I'll get one of these and give it a
shot and see how it helps performance.
