it claims 75000+ IOPS for 4k random write which is in PCI-E based SSD performance territory! no pricing yet, but it's still MLC based, then hopefully they won't be too expensive ....

I can see adding SSD cache-only drive outside a "regular" hardware RAID-10 can surely benefit IOPS a great deal without spending big on those super expensive Adaptec MaxIQ or LSI FastPath RAID card.

Ya, I saw these yesterday as well, they look somewhat interesting. I wonder how exactly the differ from running a normal enterprise SSD in MaxIQ or FastPath?

It is remarkable, very useful piece

Under provisioning is about the only way to make a MLC SSD survive for long as a write cache drive for a system that actually does IO.
