So? That's more than enough for a ZFS intent log (as a rule of thumb,
the ZIL should be half the size of the server's RAM).

Why do you consider ZIL to be a good candidate for putting on a SSD?
Isn't it sequential-access mostly?

Did you (or anyone) deploy CF drives for production servers?

My router (and DNS, NTP and DHCP server) is a net4801 with a 1 GB CF
chip.

Ok, these are probably embedded appliances that don't get much storage
traffic. I was thinking about different kind of servers - database,
web or file servers.
