[Nottingham] PC flash IO/host cards

[Martin]

Folks,

Anyone know of any cheap PCIe cards that can be used as a fast SSD for 
linux that use DDR or (raw) flash or both, for experimenting?

And that are very much cheaper than such as:

?


Anyone using JFFS2?

If so, with what?


Aside: For those using flash devices, this may be of interest:

(In summary, thankfully much longer than you are lead to expect!)


Cheers,
Martin
