I yesterday send  some test results.... If you use a UFS clone like ext,
you will not get much better speed. You should use ZFS or another COW 
filesystem that tries to write bigger blocks in order to avoid high latencies.

I recommend Intel or OCZ. Other SSDs have been reported as slow

I tested OCZ
