Ive noticed over the past week or so that I continually have writes to my main pool around 300KB/s Im assuming that this is the system dataset.
I dont know how destructive it is to have these small writes constantly going to the main pool 24/7, but I was considering using 2, 16-32GB USB 2.0 Kingston Datatraveler flash drives mirrored to house the system dataset. I have 10 of these drives in sizes from 8-32 GB and theyve all been rock solid for me. Not one has failed a full test from Chkflsh.
This also made me wonder about the longevity of using a flash drive since they have only so many P/E cycles until they die.
Has anyone done anything line this before? Or should I just let them go on the main pool?
