Exactly my point. They have used slow cheap flash memory for the permanent storage and only the volatile RAM is fast. At these prices, the NAND falsh should be just as fast as an enterprise SSD and should be able to do a full park of data within 5 seconds, not a whole minute.
Appalling.
The design should be as good as an Intel enterprise SSD, with the option to add sticks of volatile "cache".
