I'll either do without or wait till they drop in price....is there a "second
best" option or is this pretty much it?
I guess it depends on your workload and your performance
expectations/requirements vs budget. For example: my home server has an
Intel X25-M for the boot drive and I have carved out a 4 GB primary
partition on it to use as separate log device. It gives me a 3x
improvement when extracting tar files over NFS. An expensive
write-optimized SSD could probably do much better, but I'm not willing
to spend the kind of money required as this is just a home file server.
Given that you can remove the log if it doesn't help and reuse it as a
cache device, you can easily try it out ot see if it helps in your case.
Cheers,

You need SLC SSD for ZIL. The only SLC SSD I'd recommend is Intel X25-E.
Others are either too expensive or much slower than Intel.
