SSD and i-RAM vs Traditional Hard Disk Drives In this article we are going to introduce to you two solid state drives from Samsung and a unique data storage solution from Gigabyte aka i-RAM. Let check out their performance compared to that of conventional hard disk drives. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/sto.../ssd-iram.html |
I bet that article is paid by Seagate, considering they took the crappy Samsung SSDs. |
I bet you are completely incorrect :) anyway, we what we should hope for is I-RAM device with DDR2 support, 4 slots, up to 8gb/slot:) |

I can only point at the fast 64 Gb OCZ SSD Disk that goes for only 1000$ at Newegg. That fits even an XP install and most WORK porgrams. |
what would you pay for a RAM disks which uses PCI Express ? :) |
I can only see very expensive 4 GB modules, 4 GB (2x2) costs 63$ so that would still make 1008$ for 64 GB DDR2. |
Aim for 8Gb of RAM disk which boots your PC instantly, good tradeof with cost:) |

jmke... if they could do that and make a slot on a motherboard that's actually designed for that it would be great... however i won't have jack for pci slots after i get sli since i already ahve a soundcard. |
Hm, Velociraptor costs $300... same price would give 20GB of DDR2. I would suspect that a new and improved (IE current) drive microcontroller + SATA II interface + DDR2 would greatly improve the RAM drives's performance. Plenty of room for more memory if adding a low RPM fan. |
that was def. over my head kougar. |
Let me put it this way: The microcontroller in a high-end SSD is often the limiting component that bottlenecks performance. So, since RAM is MUCH faster than flash memory... it stands to reason the hardware microcontroller in the i-RAM is the biggest bottleneck. RAM should perform leaps and bounds better... a modern, performance tweaked microcontroller on the drive/iRAM PCB should give it a huge boost alone, before adding SATA II improvements and faster, higher bandwidth lower power DDR2 RAM. |
