if you're on a budget you can also hook up two consumer SSDs to
some SATAIII ports and raid them... you can get 500GB of
insanely fast local for under 300bucks this way (and 1TB for
about 600).
i've got over 900MB/sec sequential read/writes with with two
Agility3 240GB as RAID0 on a the i7 motherboard controller -
flies with DPX. (if you have more random read/writes or
compressed data like EXR then a non-sandforce SSD like the
Samsung 840 Pro might have some advantages - but even cheap SSDs
are incredibly fast with sequential operations these days)
