The Sun System Handbook (sunsolve.sun.com) for the 7210 appliance (an
X4540-based system) lists the "logzilla" device with this fine print:
  PN#371-4192 Solid State disk drives can only be installed in slots 3 and 11.

Makes me wonder if they would work in our X4500 NFS server.  Our ZFS pool is
already deployed (Solaris-10), but we have four hot spares -- two of which
could be given up in favor of a mirrored ZIL.  An OS upgrade to S10U6 would
give the separate-log functionality, if the drivers, etc. supported the
actual SSD device.  I doubt we'll go out and buy them before finding out
if they'll actually work -- it would be a real shame if they didn't, though.

Regards,
