I suppose one could get away with only using a single disk without Mirroring. I am just not really willing to risk it. I bought two 32GB SSD's for @200.00 So for me this was all they were intended for. I plan on adding a 128GB or larger Cache drive moving forward that will only be a single disk. As for splitting the drive into multiple partitions I am shocked that I have to reboot the system to get it to pick them up. I have several VM's mounted via iSCSI so rebooting this system really impacts quite a few things even though it is my lab.
Something that might be worth reading in regards to having a Mirrored ZIL/SLOG is locate here. http://jmlittle.blogspot.com/search/label/iram Plus this was a recommendation from a couple of guys at Sun as well. My data is currently worth more than the extra 100.00 I spent for the second SSD drive. The question really was not if this should be done rather the proper way to partition the disk up. I do appreciate all of the replies from everyone though.
