Built a second Supermicro system and chose the OCZ Vertex Turbo SSD MLC instead for the Indilinx controller. I've heard of a lot of reliability problems with the jmicron based SSD's. Anyway, I thought I would post the hdd benchmark done earlier for this unit as well:

# time dd if=/dev/urandom bs=4k count=1024 | openssl enc -e -k 1234 -aes-128-cbc -out /dev/null
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
4194304 bytes transferred in 39.636 secs (105820 bytes/sec)
    0m39.64s real     0m0.16s user     0m44.77s system

EDIT: Ahh one more. My buddy dropped off his Intel X25 SLC (SSDSA2SH032G1).
