The main purpose for using SSDs with ZFS is to reduce latencies for

In the "available 5 months ago" category, the Intel X25-E will write
sequentially at ~170MB/s according to the datasheets. That is faster
than most, if not all rotating media today.
Sounds good. Is that is after the whole device has been re-written a
few times or just when you first use it? How many of these devices do
you own and use?
Seagate Cheetah drives can now support a sustained data rate of
204MB/second. That is with 600GB capacity rather than 64GB and at a
similar price point (i.e. 10X less cost per GB). Or you can just
RAID-0 a few cheaper rotating rust drives and achieve a huge
sequential data rate.
I see that the Intel X25-E claims a sequential read performance of
250 MB/s.
