I have and do. You must remember that flash drives aren't all created equal and some are much faster than others, and then there's USB 2, 3, 3.1 Secondly flash is read in pages and written in blocks. IIRC a Page is 8-16 KB and the are 128-256 pages per 1024-4096 KB block. ie a LOT of reading...

Hmmm.... Idea: 'Not invented here' therefore a bad idea..? :)

NB: G.Skill's Flare line are just rebadged Ripjaws with $ 30 tacked onto the price. I note that there was no mention of bus termination impedance/resistance setting tweaking in the writeup..?!? There is a piece of software called 'Project Mercury' that avoids inter CCX thread hopping and SMT...

Another way of looking at this: Readyboost filters small (~4K), random, oft used files onto media with lower latency than the main drive. The 2 drives then read/write files they are better faster handling at the same time. ie: A sort of optimised for drive characteristics, RAID 0... Now look...

Theres an option being overlooked by Microsoft and by all benchmarkers: Readyboost/Readyboot: Readyboost speeded up HDDS because USB Flash had a very low 'seek time'. ie: A lot of the small but all important to performance 4K files could be read from the flash in the ~ 13ms seek time...
