Well pretty much by definition any writes shorten the drives life, the more
writes the shorter it is.
That said, here is some interesting math that I did before I built my first mlc
array.
For a certain brand of indellix drive I calculated the life span in the
following way. Based on the maxim

If the ZIL is heavily used, the same 10% of the device get

The SSD design might implement wear leveling which moves an old block
which was only written once or twice to the block with heavy wear
Dear Community,
OpenSVC now support ZFS as a sync resource.
So it is possible to have ZFS reliable synchronization of datasets/zonepaths
between different nodes of an OpenSVC service.
OpenSVC is a GPLv2 project automating the low-level operations needed
1/ to bring up system resources :

Hi,
I don't know if it's already been discussed here, but while
thinking about using the OCZ Vertex 2 Pro SSD (which according
to spec page has supercaps built in) as a shared slog and L2ARC
device it stroke me that this might not be a such a good idea.
Because this SSD is MLC based, write cycles
