I would expect modern PCIe-based SSDs to be competitive or better; they're claiming around 2GB/s, which the modern Intel PCIe models can do individually, and are much easier to install and live with. *shrug*

Shortly after I saw that video, when it was released, I bought my first SSD and have been addicted to them ever since, trying to fit them into every conceivable system 😉

I'd expect to hit some kind of bottleneck, even on dedicated systems.

SSD disks can fill up all the bandwitdth of a SAS or SATA bus, and a "true" RAID system (yes, I do NOT consider JBOD or RAID 0 as RAID levels) has some tasks that can not be accelerated simply adding more SSDs (i.e.: CRC/ECC calculations, bus transfer between controller and host, the need to perform multiple read/writes).

I guess that they can not outperform (on real life, not on a laboratory) a well thought combination of hard disks, hardware RAID controllers and big caché sizes.
