The RevoDrive should not require a custom device driver as it is based on the Silicon Image 3124 PCI-X RAID controller connected to a Pericom PCI-X to PCIe bridge chip (PI7C9X130). The required driver would be the si3124(7D), I noticed the man page states NCQ is not supported. I found the following link detailing the status: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=466436 It might make an interesting L2ARC device, as it is definitely low cost. It's based on multiple SandForce 1200 controllers. Important to note because the on-board volatile caches are not power protected, so not a good fit for the ZIL Accelerator. But perfectly acceptable for the L2ARC as drive contents are not required to survive a power failure (at this time). Our PCIe based SSD, the DDRdrive X1, does require a dedicated device driver and we exclusively target ZIL acceleration. We support OpenSolaris (2009-06 through b134), OpenIndiana, and NexentaStor 3.0. I am excited to announce we just completed validation and are now also supporting Solaris 11 Express!
