NB, the 10k IOPS is for a write span limited to 8GB. For full-size random writes, the IOPS dives to an astonishing 300. Still 2x a HDD, but only 2x a HDD. For slog use, consider a partition size 8GB or less. -- richard -- ZFS Performance and Training [email protected] +1-760-896-4422 _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
