Some of you may be interested in this PCIe card:

I just received a couple of them and have done basic functionality
testing. No bcache yet but that is what they are intended for. The
controller is a Marvell 88SE9230 connected via an x2 link.

So you are theoretically limited to less than 1GB/s across PCIe but for
caching purposes I'm more interested in IOPS than raw bandwidth
anyways. Using "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M oflag=direct" I am
seeing ~380MB/s per device on 2 Mushkin MKNSSDAT120GB-DX concurrently.
Not the greatest test but it does show that they work OK. I am getting
Fedora 20 installed the way I want it and then the real testing will begin.
