The external PCIe RAM disk based on the DDR memory instead SSD?

For the price of that, you could buy a decent 2tb nvme, a decent amount of normal DDR4 memory and still have change left over.
Change your software or your workflow before looking at odd proprietary hardware solutions - there is a reason no one else is producing or using hardware ram drives - they simply aren't needed.

Video editing doesn't need the fastest access latencies, but bandwidth.
And DRAM isn't any faster in end of PCIe than good SSD.
Also PCIe's latency would anyway also handicap lots of DRAM's latency advantage.
Hence no one puts DRAM there.

Just buy one of those pcie m2 raid cards instead, still a complete waste of money (a decent gen4 ssd should be more than fast enough imo) but it will be 'faster' if you really think you need 'faster'
The resource is a priority for me. Fast SSDs wear out too quickly. High TBW models are too slow as a rule...

Something wrong with your workflow then
Unless you're just copy&pasting, processing power is far bigger bottleneck.
And high endurance models have basically full disk write per day over whole warranty worth of TBW.

I'm curious, is this something you've had an issue with actual usage in recent years?
