Has anyone actually used their M1015 cards in IR mode? I'm going to build a typical ESXi + Solaris ZFS all-in-one storage server soon and would like to have ESXi on raided disks aswell.
I have a 8in2 2,5 hotswap cage populated with 6x80GB X25-M G2s and 2x 60GB Kingston V300s. Would it make any sense to create a raid1 of those kingstons and raid10 of intels, then install ESXi + Solaris on the raid1 and use raid10 as local datastore for other VMs? Can the M1015 handle all this?
