We use the RamSan 400 and 440 with some systems at work. I'm trying to
get some RamSan 630 eval units for testing. Unfortunately, we're using
Linux LVM and ext3, so I can't answer how well they work with zfs.

TMS did caution us that the 630 would be slower than the 440 for our
use case, which is a lot of synchronous random iops. The same probably
holds true for use as a slog.
