OCZ not only introduced these "enterprise" SSDs but also "Maximum Performance/Enterprise Solid State Drives" a couple of days ago.
An SLC version: Vertex 2 EX http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/solid-state-drives/2-5--sata-ii/maximum-performance-enterprise-solid-state-drives/ocz-vertex-2-ex-series-sata-ii-2-5--ssd-.html And an MLC version: Vertex 2 Pro http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/solid-state-drives/2-5--sata-ii/maximum-performance-enterprise-solid-state-drives/ocz-vertex-2-pro-series-sata-ii-2-5--ssd-.html The cheapest (100Gb) Vertex 2 Pro costs about 400 euros. This brings it within reach of a lot of ZFS enthusiasts. Both are based, like the Devena line, on the sandforce 1500 controller AND both have the supercap. I'm really looking forward to see somebody posting some results for these SSD used as a ZIL and / or L2ARC. Apart from the supercap the availability of SSDs with a SAS interface is also very promising. No more "not to obtain" interposers and perhaps finally an affordable alternative to the STEC "LogZilla" Regards, Frederik -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
