Lexar intorduces 300x CompactFlash

Lexar introduced UDMA CompactFlash. It's geared toward digital cameras with UDMA which I believe not many have one. However the only thing I noticed is: its speed, 300x, which translate to 45MB/sec. The most notebook hard drive speed is less than 50MB/sec. Could make ideal SSD replacement for my hard drive except for the price and capacity. It will comes with only 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB. Notice the disclaimer at bottom: "1GB equals 1 billion bytes".

If this support RAID 0, then it will be faster than any hard drive I have: 3 SCSI and 1 SATA. All of them with 10,000RPM. But price for 16GB CompactFlash Raid will cost more than $1000 for sure. Both product is not yet available for purchase.
