My understanding is that this is a largely academical board, designed for use by universities. They might be successful in such a realm - although I suspect any professor worth their salt will be given dev boards by a hardware company for their research. Beyond that, I don't see this to be a particularly useful project - it's sad but the competition in industry would make open source competition difficult, commercial implementations are mature, and it's hard to do SSDs right anyway. I know that these are quite expensive, for a start.
