The benefit of SSD is not the raw sequential transfer. That is easy to max out with spinning platters. You want SSD for random access, it's significantly better

- ioquatix 9y agoThe ARC (and L2ARC on an SSD) give you the best possible IOPs for read operations given the limits of the underlying hardware. Asynchronous write operations are cached to memory before being written to disk, often sequentially. For synchronous writes, you should use a ZIL on a mirrored SSD.
