I am currently working in QA for a company that makes storage systems
(NAS/SAN appliances), and had a chance to work with some of the FusionIO
products.  Holy guacamole, they are blazingly fast!  They're pricey, though,
since that kind of speed comes at a premium.

I've also had the chance to work with a number of different SSDs, and have
just purchased one to install into my studio machine.  My experiences at
work lead me to believe that the SSDs now available are reliable and fast 
enough for audio work.
