I thnik Henry is referring to Intel's X25-E line. They are SLC,
enterprise grade.
Quite expensive though, ~700 euros for the 64GB version.
We have one of them in a production server (light load), it works very
well so far.
Performance gain versus WD Raptor RAID array is huge. I never tried to
quantify it.
