Unfortunately, we need to be careful here with our terminology. SSD used to refer strictly to standard DRAM backed with a battery (and, maybe some sort of a fancy enclosure with a hard drive to write all DRAM data to after a power outage). It now encompasses the newer Flash-based devices. My my experience, the two devices have _vastly_ different usage and performance profiles. DRAM-based SSDs have virtually unlimited read/write performance (they'll out-perform virtually any standard I/O bus, since they're RAM), while flash devices are fast read/slower write.
In this case, I think we want the DRAM SSDs. -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA Timezone: US/Pacific (GMT-0800) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
