Intel 730 series SSD as ZIL

Thinking of adding mirrored ssd's for ZIL. Using zfs volume for vmware storage. The performance for NFS is not good.Just wondering if anyone tried intel 730 series.

You'd be better off with an S3700 or P3700.

Or a 750 unless you have really heavy writes.

A ZIL is all writes.

I know. A 750 doesn't have the endurance of the 3700's. Would be great for bursty writes but maybe not sustained constant writes.
