STEC only sells to OEMs at this time. From past discussions on this list,
I think the only dependable SSD alternative are devices based on the
SandForce SF-1500 controller:

For all other products, there are question of the devices respecting SYNC
commands (i.e., not lying about them), and issues with the lack of
supercaps.

SandForce controller") can be found at:
