But a VDEV may be an iSCSI device, thus there can be networking below
ZFS.
For some iSCSI targets (including ZV

I've been following the use of SSD with ZFS and HSPs for some time now, and I
am working (in an architectural capacity) with one of our IT guys to set up our
own ZFS HSP (using a J4200 connected to an X2270).
The best practice seems to be to use an Intel X25-M for the L2ARC (Readzilla)

The Discard/Trim command is also available as part of the SCSI standard now.
Now, if you look from a SAN perspective, you will need a little of both.
Filesystems will need to be able to deallocate blocks and then the same should
be triggered as a SCSI Trim to the Storage Controller.
For a virtual
