[Cialug] Anyone using an SSD?

[Matt Stanton]

Man, if I had a few thousand dollars in disposable income, I'd 
definitely get one of these:

Sustained write speeds of 600MB/sec, read speeds up to 870MB/sec.  These 
things are nuts, and would be a great place to load an OS or 2.5GB of 
game data/media from.  They get the speed by utilizing an 8x PCI-e slot 
and building a raid controller onto the card, with a bunch of smaller 
SSDs set up in a RAID-0 striped array.
