I am setting up a new server running FreeBSD 12.1 which will have a
(non-boot) zpool with a SLOG. The SLOG drives will be running on a LSI
(Broadcom) 9300-8i 12G SAS/SATA HBA card:
https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/host-bus-adapters/sas-9300-8i

I'm wondering what drives people are using/liking that take full advantage
of this card's speed and (12Gb/s) capability while also providing the write
cache (power loss protection) required for the SLOG.

Thanks!
