This is perfectly true.  It *might* work at full-bore for a single USRP2
with SSDs, but certainly
  not for more than one.

Perhaps I shall run a quick benchmark tonight on my D-510 system, which
has an SSD, and
  see what bandwidth it can sustain to disk before losing badly.  My gut
tells me that it won't
  be impressive.
