    Looks like one place has it, 2san. I would like to see some independent reviews...

    Big investment w/o a major rundown from a good reviewer.

    Also, pretty limited RAM compatibility list and none of them are ECC, unless I am mistaken. ECC seems a MUST...

    I had asked Treadlayers when they were planning to do an SSD review. Here's the response I got back:

    SSD tests are coming soon we hope. Because of their high price, manufacturers rarely ever send them out for reviews. But what I can say is that they have little advantage in my book over top-end HDDs. Less space, limited write cycles, and equal power consumption doesn’t amount to a compelling reason to upgrade. As you will see in our upcoming super ultraportable article, I opted for a WD Scorpio Black 320GB 7200 RPM over any SSD not because of space, but rather SSDs didn’t offer enough advantages. Read speeds are great, but at too high a $/GB cost.

    Huh? This is NOT a (nand) SSD. It's a DRAM based drive.

    It is a SSD. Search for a definition in any source. SSD != flash.

    Misspoke, I meant NAND SSD. Note their comment:
    limited write cycles
    Doesn't apply. They are thinking of the wrong technology.
