I can't help thinking these drives would be overkill for an ARC device. All of the expensive controller hardware is geared to boosting random write IOPs, which somewhat wasted on a write slowly, read often device. The enhancements would be good for a ZIL, but the smallest drive is at least an order of magnitude too big...
I think, given the write-endurance and powerloss protection, these devices might make for good pool devices - whether for an SSD-only pool, or for an rpool+zil(s) mirrors with main pools (and likely L2ARCs, yes) being on different types of devices. //Jim _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
