Has anybody tried installing SQL Server on a flash drive and checked the performance of a database on that drive.

I haven't tried it, but have seen an expensive server running solid state hard drives. Unbelievable the I/Os per second the server was achieving!
There is some debate whether tuning will be necessary in the future with such fast IO...

any stats about the server, or about the database size. Beucase I just have a 10GB database and want to give a try.

Sriram ,
You can install it.check out this

Flash memory is MUCH faster than disk, no moving parts...but still too expensive for most organisations.
ps. I hope we're talking solid state hard drives, rather than sticking a flash drive in a USB port 🙂

1 million IOPS!!

Hi...Actually wanted to know the kind of improvement in numbers/ %ge if we move sql db to a solid state drive...
I know that we can move it but it is costly...
anybody with prior experience....Sriram

The performance improvement you will see depends on how IO bound your application is.
For SQL Server, you should look ar adding memory first to get performance improvements if you see long disk read queue lengths.
You can look at the links below for info on high end systems designed for situations where high performance IO is critical.

I've also found some nice perf. info at http://www.ramsan.com/products/products.htm
If I get the chance, I'll certainly try it out.
That depends entirely on the "current" economic situation.
