| Gigabyte's i-RAM: Affordable Solid State Storage The important thing to focus on is that thanks to Gigabyte’s battery system, data-loss was never an issue during our use of the card; and despite the lack of ECC memory support, we never had any data corruption during our testing. In the end, the i-RAM is an interesting addition to a system, but it’s usefulness will truly vary from one user to the next. With a bit more capacity, and especially for those users who happen to have a few 1GB sticks laying around, the i-RAM could be a very powerful addition to your system. Hats off to Gigabyte for making something useful, and we can't wait to see rev 2... http://www.anandtech.com/storage/sho...spx?i=2480&p=1

| Apparently Gigabyte is limitting the success of their own invention. - Why not SATA I & II compatibility? - Why a memory controller that operates at a mere 100MHz (DDR200)? Did DDR200 come out in 1GB sticks at all? No, so we'd have to use other memory anyway. - Wouldn't iRAM benefit massively from DDR2? (maybe more expensive but it should be an option). |

| Oh yes, let's not forget: 4GB ??? What on earth can you fit on that? Doom 1? - 8GB ought to be the minimum, and no I don't want to buy another iRAM to get that space because: a) I may not have any slots left in my RAID array b) I would have to spent another 150$ and this thing is already expensive enough! |
