[ILUG] solid state hard disks ?

[Mark Kilmartin]

Take a look at www.platypus.net

One they have is a PCI card that can have up to either 2G or 8G
dependent on the model.

They also have an external model that has up to 16G and a build in UPS
and also internal HDD to back up onto if the power does fail.

And they can be combined to give up to 128G
