Thanks to Wazza and this post in the AS SSD Thread I just took a small walk down memory lane.
It does not seem like 5 years ago when we were talking about RAMDISK and RAMDRIVE's.
So I had a look back at how quick they were and see how much we have evolved into the latest Solid State drives...
Expensive - £84 for the unpopulated card. I seem to vaguely remember about £60 per GB of memory. So a 4GB drive for £320ish
Unreliable, once the onboard battery was drained. All data was gone!
Bootable - Enjoy streamlining XP to as small as possible!
PCI based (for power) and attached via normal SATA150 connections on the mainboard.
Massive transfer speeds (lol)
RAID0 pain!
RAMDISK vs IRAM
