Interestingly nobody talks about "the other end" of the ssd market. Ok, a cf
card isn't really a ssd, but it is basically the same technology without very
intelligent controllers in front. So if you really want to see improvements
from ssd options this might be the most visible platform for playing. And
again, this is indeed a mainstream market, lots of routers and other embedded
gadgets use this - currently mostly implementing ram disks for performance
reasons.
