zfs discuss - May 2010 - ZFS - USB 3.0 SSD disk

Hi all,

It seems like the market has yet another type of ssd device, this time a
USB 3.0 portable SSD device by OCZ.
Going on the specs it seems to me that if this device has a good price
it might be quite useful for caching purposes on ZFS based storage.
Take a look at
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/solid-state-drives/usb-3-0-/ocz-enyo-usb-3-0-portable-solid-state-drive.html
and we need to wait for prices and for systems with USB 3.0 :)

P.S PCIE 3.0 is near by ..iupi!

Not bad, they claim 1TB transfer in 47 minutes:

That''s about double what I usually get out of a cheap
''desktop'' SATA
drive with OpenSolaris.  Slower than a RAID-Z2 of 10 of them, though. 
Still, the power savings could be appreciable.
