Get a load of this sexy beast.

While it doesn't pack the same endurance as the P3700 (3 vs 10 DWPD rating) what makes this particularly interesting to me for ZFS use is the fact that it's actually two independent NVMe devices behind a PLX PCIe switch.
In theory, assuming there's no driver bugbears, that means you could install two of these cards, have a mirrored SLOG using one NVMe device on each card, and then use the other device for striped L2ARC.
