Techgage discusses what you need to look for when buying a solid state disk, you can read it over here. It includes the difference between compressible and incompressible performance figures, MB/s vs IOPS, etc.
As someone who has purchased many different storage devices (HDD, SSD, flash drive, etc.), I have experienced first hand the confusion that can come from all the numbers we are bombarded with.
