A little while back OCZ began shipping the Colossus series of drives.

Somebody should make something better for the market.

Here is what it should have:

3.5" form factor
two 2.5" SATA2 bays (specifically for SSD RAID0)
1 DDR2 SODIMM slot (supporting a 2GB write buffer)
2 AAA battery sockets (for dumping the buffer in the event of a power failure)
a 6Gbit external interface (available with SATA/SAS/USB3)

Effectively, this should allow enthusiasts such as ourselves to build storage solutions with commodity SSDs that outperform just about everything out there.

These drives could also be used in enterprise hardware, since externally it could look like a simple low-power 3.5" 6gbit SAS drive, and could be used in hot-swap RAIDs.

Somebody in the industry please get started on this.
