Hm yepp.. seems that way, pretty recent posts where ppl have problems =20= with this JMicron chip.. altough seems most posts is talking about =20 SATA CDs? Same for disks?

I don't think so. I don't even think you need more =20= > than 4GB. True, not realy sure why I mentionend 4Gb.. will probably go with 2.. As i've understood it, zfs is pretty big on using memory, would 2G be =20= enough then?
