As shown, this has >100 MB/s I/O speed, while the fastest SD cards are about 20-30 MB/s. Along with that, it has much more space, and probably a greater number of rated write cycles for the flash memory. In fact, most hard drives will beat out that card, and unless you have some space issues or really like to swap out your OS frequently, it is a terrible idea. Plus the fact that it has not "already been around for years", or at least not at reasonable prices for the quality. I don't even care about the OCZ super-whatever, it's just that someone was wrong on the internet. I really don’t think a single SDHC card is equivalent to this, especially when boot times matter.
