    Yes, with File I/O we dont use this for the Failover - stated on page 52 of the manual. Now beginning of next month we will be launching a new product that will be based on ZFS that you WILL be able to use the SSD drives for caching

    We will be providing more information on this new product on our website with the other functions like Compression, Thin Provisioning and De-duplication and more...
    All the best,

    There is no upgrade from the DSS versions to this new product as this a different product and is using ZFS which the DSS are not based on ZFS.

    So, we have to buy this new software because our license is only for DSS?

    As of now yes because these are 2 different products and feature sets also you may not have the proper hardware. We will be looking into this to see what types of upgrades we might be able to offer but as of now there is none.
    All the best,
