Some cool SSD drives for you to check out

Funky Kit Review: OCZ IBIS 160Gb SSD with HSDL 

What OCZ has done is to slap 2 x  Sandforce controlled 80Gb SSDs sub-units (PCBs) and configured then in RAID 0 mode using a Silicon Image RAID controller. These PCBs are then housed in a 3.5" inch anodised Aluminum casing, and features OCZ's new proprietary HSDL (High Speed Data Link) interface. This new interface basically eliminates the existing I/O bottlenecks and take SSD technology to new levels of performance, with a max read speed up to 740MB/s and max write speed up to 690MB/s.

Think RevoDrive, but faster  :)

Speaking of RevoDrive, Hardware Canucks has a review posted of the 120GB model

Can't lie, I really want to get my hands on one of these.
