Hi all,

Is there any problem to use SSD? I'll purchase Solidata 64GB SLC SSD.

It won't be as a system disk but I wanna know any good/bad story.

Please let me know. Thanks.

The first disk (c8t0d0) is an OCZ SLC SSD 128 gig
The second disk (c8t1d0) is an OCZ MLC SSD 256 gig
The third disk (c8t2d0) is an Intel MLC gen 1 SSD 160 gig

My OS, Opensolaris b133, on my X86 Laptop. The boot disk is the OCZ SLC disk. I've been running these now for about 6 months with no trouble.

They all should work but they may perform differently.

Most likely using ZFS and alot of RAM should work with most, but if you
have a filesystem that buffers badly you can have troubles since the SSD
stops now and then so for "realtime" data storage you must pay attention
on the performance.
