The workload will be generated by a gaggle of virtual machines, most of which I expect to be running the normal mix of Microsoft/Office type applications (of which I expect MS-Exchange to be the most demanding).
I gather the LSI card allows you to dedicate the entire NVRAM cache to writes should you so-wish. I had kinda given up on expecting read-ahead assistance from the hardware... Im hoping that the large-ish write cache will simply release zfs to go away and continue its work as soon as possible. Thoughts much appreciated.
