    Interesting, I hadn't seen a sub-$1,000 product like that since the iRAM-drive. Nowhere near the speeds I would have expected though. I would be willing to bet their bottlenecks are the controller chip and the SATAII interface. All the more reason to go with a PCIe interface.

    That product is very interesting, and only a few bucks more to purchase than to build. I might actually buy it, though I won't be buying any CF cards to go with it.
    My mind says Technic, but my body says Duplo.

    I actually helped assemble a server using one of those devices about a year ago. We loaded it up with 32gb of ram, and sent it out to test. The client needed HUGE I/O capabilities for an accounting database.

    I havent heard anything back since then, but then again I'm no longer with that company.. I'll see if I can find out what happened with it.. if anything.
