This adapter is available on ebay for $149 and he says they work well in Vaxstations. He also has some which take CF flash cards.

They did, and they still exist. They tend to be industrial grade stuff,
however and also tend to be silly expensive.

Yeah.

It's unfortunate, really. :(]

Yeah. :(

Sounds like a business opportunity, basically build an enclosure, get 5-6 consumer SSDs, RAID6 them, expose a SCSI/SAS/eSATA interface to the host. If one of the drives breaks/runs out of write cycles, the box indicates the slot and we provide a new SSD for the slot.
