I just found an 8 GB SATA Zeus (Z4S28I) for £83.35 (~US$127) shipped to California. That should be more than large enough for my ZIL @home, based on zilstat.

The web site says EOL, limited to current stock.

Of course this seems _way_ too good to be true, but I decided to take the risk.

Following up, I just added the STEC Zeus to my pool. The SSD is of the motherboard ICH7 AHCI port, the rust is all on an LSI 1068E. Anyone know how these numbers stack up against an X25-E? It certainly was a great deal for the price!
