Not necessarily. While this has some advantages in terms of price & performance, at ~$2400 the 80GB ioDrive would give it a run for it's money. 600MB/s and enough capacity to (hopefully) use it as a L2ARC as well. When you consider that you need at least two machines, UPS', and the supporting infrastructure for this idea, the ioDrive really isn't far off for cost. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
