here is another really informative article (pdf)
http://www.storagesearch.com/easyco-flashperformance-art.pdf.

The conclusions are different...they claim it's hard to make good use
of ssd advantages if you do any random writing at all. Of course,
they are also developing an automagical solution to the problem. The
information is good though...it's certainly worth a read. The problem
is probably solvable.
