The OCZ Agility 2 or any SF-1200 based SSD is an excellent choice for the L2ARC. As on-board volatile memory does *not* need power protection because the L2ARC contents are not required to survive a host power loss (at this time). Also, checksum fallback to the pool provides data redundancy. The ZIL accelerator's requirements differ from the L2ARC, as it's very purpose is to guarantee *all* data written to the log can be replayed (on next reboot) in case of host failure.
