Hi,

I just want to add here that I am using 2 drives of type "Samsung
HD103SJ" (SpinPoint F3). And I did not have problems with ZFS and with
UFS either (for several years now). Everything has been deployed ontop
ada(4) since FreeBSD-8.

Actually the speed is very good (sequential read at 140 MB/s and more).
