I think it's considered about equivalent. The advantages of the flash one are no battery maintenance (=no downtime every <n> years to replace it) and no "timeout" if you loose power (but the battery backed ones are usually good for 48 hours or so, and if you don't have a server up by then...) > Is that type of system well tested?
