Flash SSDs typically boast a huge number of _read_ IOPS (thousands), but very few write IOPS (tens). The write throughput numbers quoted are almost certainly for non-synchronous writes whose latency can easily be in the milisecond range. STEC makes an interesting device which offers fast _synchronous_ writes on an SSD, but at a pretty steep cost.
