$600+ for a 32 GB device isn't exactly competitive, though the low-power and random access are attractive. >From a ZFS perspective, I wouldn't be very excited about 35 MB/sec write >speeds (though again, the random access is attractive). Of course, considering >it's a 32 GB device, you could stripe ten of them, to get a 320 GB flash disk >which could write at 350 MB/sec for $6000.... Could be nice for laptops eventually, but the relatively small capacity is a problem for the consumer space (except maybe at the low end).
