I've got some thumpers and there're very reliable.
Even disks aren't failing that much - even less than I expected from
observation on other arrays in the same environment.

The main problems with x4500+zfs are:

1. hot spare support in zfs - right now it is far from ideal

2. raidz2 - resilver with lot of small files takes too long

3. SVM root disk mirror over jumpstart doesn't work with x4500 (bug
   opened)

4. I would consider future version of x4500 to have a 2xCF card (or
   something similar) to boot system from - so two disk won't be
   wasted just for OS (2x1TB in a few months).
