[PLUG] further SSD research

[Eric <eric@lucii.org>]

Gah! 

This is a spectacular idea and the specs are breathtaking but I cannot
believe they sell very many to us mere mortals at these prices:

http://www.fusionio.com/

http://www.google.com/products?q=fusion-io+iodrive&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=PXjYSo7NO4rh8Qb3sMi3BQ&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CCkQrQQwAw

(If that last URL breaks just search in Google for "Fusion-io iodrive"
and find the prices under shopping results)

Linux support appears spotty for now unless you're a Red Hat shop but
they're working on it.
