So if the Intel X25E is a bad device- can anyone recommend an SLC device with good firmware? (Or an MLC drive that performs as well?)
I've got 80 spindles in 5 16 bay drive shelves (76 15k RPM SAS drives in 19 4 disk raidz sets, 2 hot spares, and 2 bays set aside for a mirrored ZIL) connected to two servers (so if one fails I can import on the other one). Host based cards are not an option for my ZIL- I need something that sits in the array and can be imported by the other system. I was planning on using a pair of mirrored SLC based Intel X25E's because of their superior write performance but if it's going to destroy my pool- then it's useless. Does anyone else have something that can match their write performance without breaking ZFS? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
