[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hybrid disks in a raidz1 array??

2014-02-11 Thread Hans J. Albertsson

How would hybrid SSD/HDD-s fare in a raidz1 array??

I suppose for large sequential reads it wouldn't be much use, while for 
random read/write cycles it might help?

The value would depend entirely on how much RAM (and L2ARC) a system 
has.  If the zfs ARC is large enough, the cache on the drive would not 
help much.  If the system is rebooted often, then there could be some 
benefit since the drive cache is non-volatile.
