they should have compared it to running a normal ram disk...
it needs like 16 slots so you can scrounge up lots of old DDR memory... as they said, no one is going to have 512MB+ DDR 200 sticks.

I'd never trust volatile memory with anything accept basic program files tho, not worth the risk.

i wonder if you could mirror it to a second hdd in a raid config. is there a way of setting that up so that it only uses the ram disk but mirrors to an actual sata hdd?

I was looking at this when it was first announced. The main problem I see, is that it is limited bt the SATA bus. I think it would be better to add extra RAM to your system and setup the ramdrive that way (of course you have less slots available for this), my 2c anyway.

Sureley a solid state usb2 or firewire hdd would be much better, no moving parts and both are 400mbps.
Correct me if im wrong.
Think blueys got one.
