Two weeks ago, I did some tests with a SSD (ZFS and UFS) and it is really |
| 17 |
promising. |

They still have "seek times" but much smaller than rotating media. |
| 20 |
ZFS behaves (as expected) much better on SSD than UFS. |

ZFS even supports (or will soon support) to add separate SSDs as write cache and |
| 22 |
as meta data cache. |
