X25-E would be good, but some pools have no spares, and since you can't remove vdevs, we'd have to move all customers off the x4500 before we can use it.

Ah it just occurred to me that perhaps for our specific problem, we will buy two X25-Es and replace the root mirror. The OS and ZIL logs can live together and put /var in the data pool. That way we would not need to rebuild the data-pool and all the work that comes with that.

Shame I can't zpool replace to a smaller disk (500GB HDD to 32GB SSD) though, I will have to lucreate and reboot one time.
