Good point Warren. The controllers matter (not just for the SSD but for ZFS as well). You want plain AHCI controllers for ZFS, you do NOT want RAID controllers. I have been very happy with the Marvell chipset based controllers. I have also used the LSI 2208 on SuperMicro motherboards, but they are more of a pain to configure the way I need them. -- Paul Kraus paul@kraus-haus.org
