I agree that it looks amazing!

As for using your own SSDs? Maybe some day, but in the meantime they will be 'milking' the special functionality as much as possible $$$$.

I must admit that since the have chosen the Intel X25-E SSDs, they have chosen the best of the current SSD offerings. To open up the solution to "any old SSD" could create a support nightmare for them (there are some dog SSDs out there).

The real "killer" would be to tie together a PCIe based SSD solution (FusionIO or OCX) with a RAID controller -- that would rock!!!!
