The flash SSD market is very segmented.  A lot of the disk-form-factor stuff out there has
mediocre performance.  However there is a company with a product on the market that's about
100-200x faster than disk on both reads and writes, both random and sequential, and especially
on mixed read/write loads.  The pricing is about $25/GB which isn't all that bad when you
break it down.
