I'm not 100% sure i'm going to need a separate SSD for my ZIL but if i did want to look for one, i was wondering if anyone could suggest/recommend a few budget options.
My current hardware is something like this: intel core2quad 9550 8 gb ddr2 800 unbuffered ECC 3 AOC-SAT2-MV8 controllers 21 7200 RPM hard drives 3 kingston snv125-s2/64 GB ssd's I haven't decided on whether or not ot go with raidz or raidz2 yet but if i use raidz1 it will be 4 vdevs 5 drives each 1 spare if i go raidz 2 it will be 2 vdevs 7 drives 1 vdev 6 drives and 1 spare I am going to use 1 ssd for L2arc and 2 for mirrored Rpool (i might only use 20 gb each for rpool and use the other 40ish for L2arc as well) I was told that these ssd's are a bad choice for ZIL When i ordered them i had originally planned to use one for zil. I'm not looking to spend over 300 dollars if i can help it but if i can do something cheaper i'd really be happy. I'm really not clear on why the ssd's i ordered aren't recommended/good for ZIL but from what i've sort of gathered, it's due to poor write performance... thanks
