Does anyone know about this device?
SESX3Y11Z 32 GB 2.5-Inch SATA Solid State Drive with Marlin Bracket
for Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120, T5220, T5140 and T5240 Servers, RoHS-6
Compliant
This is from Sun's catalog for the T5120 server. Would this work well
as a separate ZIL device for ZFS? Is there any way I could use this in
a T2000 server? The brackets appear to be different.
The brackets are different. T2000 uses "nemo" bracket and T5120 uses
"marlin." For the part-number details, SunSolve is your friend.

I see also that no SSD is listed for the T2000. Has anyone gotten one
to work as a separate ZIL device for ZFS?
That is because T2000 is effectively EOL. You can still purchase them,
but no new engineering is being done because they are near EOL. Qualifying
new disks costs $$ for engineering, so they will decide not to do so.
Like I
said earlier, don't try to put much logic into such decisions, you will
fail
because you won't know all of the variables -- some of which have nothing
to do with what is possible.
That said, they should work fine. There is nothing in the SSD design which
would preclude them working as well in the T2000 as any other system.
