They are suggesting a $13k price tag for a 13TB SSD using capacity-tier flash on a single 6G SATA channel.
If you spent something like $7100 for 8 x 2TB Samsung SATA SSDs and $600 for a decent 8 port card you'd have >$5k left to spend on a new server enclosure (if needed). In return you'd get 8 times the read performance.
Modern SSDs are already constrained by 6GB I/O channels. Putting this much capacity behind such an interface doesn't seem like a great idea for any workload that would expect performance, when you could accomplish the same thing for less money and much faster throughput with separate devices.
If anyone wants six 3ware 9750-8i raid cards I'll gladly give them to you. Just cover shipping or if you're local to the LA area pick them up.
!!WARNING!! These don't do IT mode, only RAID.
