If the former, how about some hardware person designs a fully open PCIX board populated with a load of flash memory and appropriate (minimalist) interfaces? I'm not a hardware engineer, but I suspect that such a board might be quite a simple thing to design.

The mass market doesn't want this, so it would be more expensive than a traditional SSD. It's a cool idea, though.
