Keep at my hands nice modern server with 4 SSDs on board, I still can't find the better way to utilize it.
I can use built-in h/w RAID controller (LSI card, with cache and BBU, not sure for model) and build, say, RAID10 out of these disks. Or I can export these disks as 4 independent volumes via this controller, then use magic of ZFS and build RAID-Z out of it, thus I will use ZFS to keep volume up and running.
I do like ZFS but yet not sure if SSD exported as volume with h/w RAID card will do the same good as without h/w card.
Please advice!
