I use it on and off for data exchange between a MacBook Pro, some iMacs, and various Solarisoid systems. I do this with single-disk pools on external drives, connected via eSATA to Solaris servers and via USB to the MacBook Pro. It works. There is just one outrageously brain-damaged idiocy, and that is the installer. I have one iMac that only has 3 GB RAM. The installer flatly refuses to install on that box because it insists on a minimum of 4 GB. It cannot guarantee stable performance for a single-disk pool with only 3 GB of memory. What a load of crap. If that had been the first box I installed it on, I would have ditched it then and there. I signed up to the ZEVO community forum and saw that other users had already complained about that problem, but it seems neither an official fix nor a workaround is available. ZEVO is free, and Greenbytes are entitled to release it in whatever form they want, but I found that restriction remarkably stupid.
