Just from the IOPS listed in the text, they're about half the speed per drive as ours (3.3M/8 => 400k) but as before they let you stripe together way more than we do. I'll be curious to see what happens with wear and garbage collection... (we're pretty conservative, these things come in powers of two and the resulting output size of bytes means they're more aggressive or optimistic). Definitely an awesome update!
