The hybrid drive might accelerate some operations. No guarantees, though. It's about as fast as a WD Velociraptor in some operations, and the same as the regular Seagate 500gb in others. There is a decent review of it at Anandtech. The M4 is pretty decent, though the Vertex 3 and other Sandforce 2000-based drives beat it in benchmarks. Honestly though, you'll probably be very happy with any recent SSD, eg: C300, M4, Intel 320, Intel 510, Sandforce 1200-based (Vertex 2, Phoenix Pro, etc), Sandforce 2200-based (Vertex 3, Corsair Force GT, Patriot Wildfire, etc). -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
