The device is a  Samsung P-SSD1800

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   1194 MB in  2.00 seconds = 597.27 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  104 MB in  3.02 seconds =  34.40 MB/sec

The results were +- 15 MB/sec for cached read throughput, and +- .3
MB/sec for buffered disk reads over several iterations.

A quick bonnie++ test (using the -r 250 -s 500 flags as I only have 1.2
GB of disk free and 1.5 GB of RAM)

Anadtech was really happy with the performance of the Intel SSDs.

It was the price per GB that I was focused on.  For me at least, there
needs to be a lot more movement of the cost before it becomes
compelling, especially in light of the disagreement out there about the
actual power savings.

Hope this is useful,
