It's too bad that the transfer rate is so low. It should be pretty simple to build a very fast device which spreads the blocks across a large number of flash cards. I suppose you could do a raid array of addonics adapters, but it's unclear how that would perform (and it might be a mess dealing with a large number of them).

For many database applications, I don't think the transfer rate matters that much.
Regardless, the DDR-ram solid state solutions have faster transfer rates than a 4 drive raid0. The only drawback is that they cost about $100 per GB.
Oh, and the onboard battery will only let you unplug your machine for 8hrs. After that, the state is lost.
