No, I mean a solid state drive that plugs directly into a PCI slot.
Here is the closest I could semi-quickly find. It is for 2.5" pata
(not sata). There may be a sata version, but most likely it will be
PCIe, not regular pci.

You attach an old laptop HD onto this card, then plug the card into
a pci slot. It also includes a ata/133 connector so you can plug in
2 large ata drives into it. Sonnet's price is $70.
Oh my, that brings up a blast from the past. The HardCard, which was a
hard drive mounted on an ISA card...we had one in the very first "PC-
Compatible" I ever worked on, way back in 1986 or so...googling that
lead to this:

a PCIe card.
They don't list prices...you have to request a quote, for grins and
giggles I did, (and at the cost of junk phone calls! you all have no
idea of my suffering for you 8-p).
When I find out I'll post the info, but I'm guessing we're looking at
$2-5K
