These days, I am reading some VFCache design documents, stating DAS part of VFCache Split-card configuration is good to rotating data, like Oracle Redo log etc.
As I remember, current BP recommend redo file on SAS devices with SP Write-cache backed.
Though I am not sure if right comments on, we also insisted PCI-based storage is entirely different.
Rather than a SCSI-connected hard disk drive, PCI Express SSD products often use specialized drivers to communicate using direct memory access (DMA) over the PCI bus. We always think this is game-changing in terms of I/O latency, enabling random read and write performance that's orders of magnitude faster than the quickest storage array.
I also recommend interesting blog from Chad -- VFCache Hello World. You can get more highlights.
