+1 on the below, and in addition... ...compact flash, like off of USB sticks is not designed to deal with very many writes to it. Commonly it is used to store a bootable image that maybe once a year will have an upgrade on it.
Basically, trying to use those devices for a ZIL, even they are mirrored - you should be prepared to having one die and be replaced very, very regularly. Generally performance is going to pretty bad as well - USB sticks are not made to be written too rapidly. They are entirely different animals than SSDs. I would not be surprised (but would be curious to know if you still move forward on this) that you will find performance even worse trying to do this. On Jul 18, 2011, at 1:54 AM, Fajar A.
