One solution: SSD. Solid-State-Disk. They have some amazing write rates. Much faster than anything a traditional disk can do. And they have their own power backup and offline storage to disk. Saw one demo a couple of years ago, the guy was writing 5 million rows in a matter of a few short seconds. Capacity is not large enough for datafiles but is plenty for redo.
