I wish Supermicro had a similar chassis around the Cavium ThunderX. That would make a lot of sense for network-attached storage, regardless of whether one goes with SATA or drops in a SAS adapter or two. Does anyone know if any of the Cavium accelerators (crypto or compression) can improve ZFS perf?

Since ZoL 0.7, Raid-Z parity and checksumming (Fletcher4) operations are accelerated using SIMD instruction sets (in case of ThunderX, using aarch64 NEON)
