The mlc-based disks are bound to be too slow (we tested with an OCZ Vertex Turbo). So you're stuck with the X25-E (which Sun stopped supporting for some reason). I believe most "normal" SSDs do have some sort of cache and usually no supercap or other backup power solution. So be wary of that. Having said all this, the new Sandforce based SSDs look promising... >If you're running solaris proper, you better mirror your > ZIL log device.

At least I can confirm ability of adding and removing ZIL devices on the fly with OSOL of a sufficiently recent build. > I'll probably test it, just to be sure, but I might never > get around to it > because I don't have a justifiable business reason to > build the opensolaris > machine just for this one little test. I plan to get test this as well, won't be until late next week though.
