HyperDrive5 = ACard ANS9010
I have personally been wanting to try one of these for some time as a
ZIL device.
Yes, but do remember these require a half-height 5.25" drive bay, and
you really, really should buy the extra CF card for backup.
Also, stay away from the ANS-9010S with LVD SCSI interface. As (I think)
Bob pointed out a long time ago, parallel SCSI isn't good for a
high-IOPS interface. It (the LVD interface) will throttle long before
the drive does...
I've been waiting for them to come out with a 3.5" version, one which I
can plug directly into a standard 3.5" SAS/SATA hotswap bay...
And, of course, the ANS9010 is limited to the SATA2 interface speed, so
it is cheaper and lower-performing (but still better than an SSD) than
the DDRdrive.
