I have one of their cards, at the moment they are no faster than a normal 
SSD for rsyslog (in large part due to bottlenecks in rsyslog).

in addition, their normal cards are _far_ more expensive for their size 
than normal SSDs. if they have a new card/price structure I'm glad to hear 
about it. I was writing them off due to their cost.
