I can't wait to get my hands on one to test out with a database. Does anyone know where they can be bought?

The write speeds aren't bad, but there's not really any gain there compared to a 3.5" disk. That's a little disappointing, but at least it looks reasonable. Hopefully we'll see some real world comparisons on this soon. Ahh, I looked at that but obviously didn’t look close enough.

Considering the number of database that are smaller than 32GB these would be nice in a server. http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/OEM/Manuals/SSD_Family_brochure_80-11-01400_Rev3_0307.pdf There is a PDF with specs at the end of a few links on the SanDisk site; write looks quite nice compared to normal spinning disks and for a database the IOPS number is very appealling.
