In fact, I recently got one of these Samsung drives...

The spec sheet says sequential read 220MB/s, sequential write 120MB/s...
Which is 2-4 times faster than the best SATA disk out there... And
A noob question:
These drives that people talk about, can you use them as a system disc too?
Install Solaris 11 Express on them? Or can you only use them as a L2ARC or Zil?

Your system drive on a Solaris system generally doesn't see enough I/O
activity to require the kind of IOPS you can get out of most modern SSD's.
My system drive sees a lot of activity, to the degree everything is going slow.

A word of caution on the Silicon Image 3124. I have tested out a two
extremely cheap card using the si3124 driver on b134 and OIb147. One card
was PCI, the other PCI-X. I found that both are unusable until the driver
is updated. Large'ish file transfers, say over 1GB would lock up the
machine
I am waiting for the next gen Intel SSD drives, G3. They are arriving very
soon. And from what I can infer by reading here, I can use it without issues.
Solaris will recognize the Intel SDD drive without any drivers needed, or
whatever?
Intel new SSD should work with Solaris 11 Express, yes?
Agreed, SSD with SandForce controllers are the only way to go. The
controller makes a world of difference.

Thank you Christopher and Edward for all the detailed information provided.
Indeed DDRDrive looks like a right tool for fast ZIL, but for my development
workstation I'm rather searching for l2arc cache where as you note ReviDrive
might do the nice job.
Thanks,

What kind of testing did you do on the Samsung SSD?
I've used FusionIO cards to get upwards of 500MB/s writes and OCZ Deneva
SSD (SATA) drives to get 200-250MB/s writes. In many cases the trick is to
make sure you have a sufficient amount of threads doing writes in order to
get optimal
Hello,
I'm curious if there is a support for OCZ RevoDrive SSD or any other SSD hooked
directly on PCIe in Solaris. This RevoDrive looks particularly interesting for
its low price and why to buy something SATA based when someone might have twice
the speed on PCIe for the same money
Thanks,
I'm curious if there is a support for OCZ RevoDrive SSD or any other
SSD hooked directly on PCIe in Solaris.
The RevoDrive should not require a custom device driver as it is based on the
Silicon Image 3124 PCI-X RAID controller connected to a Pericom PCI-X to
PCIe bridge chip (PI7C9X130).
