An interesting thread this ,I Myself have been dabbling in hard ramdrives since 2003 in software forms originally but the last few years in hardware too ,I use hyperOS ,and have used several versions of thier solid state ramdrives ,however recently a friend of mine who is a bit of an electronics geek asked me to go in shares with him to purchase a couple of Hyperdrive 5Ms . these are ddr ramdrives with a maximum capacity of 48 gb of ddr800 . we got them back and he set to work modifying them , he installed a PCIe Interface and raided them with a promise chip , from an old mboard .I did not expect too much from this and was quite surprised it fired up at all ,but with 12gb of crucial ddr800 in each drive ,it fired up instantly ,speed is blistering ,and with windows 7 64bit installed it goes well its a bit un-nerving though because just about everything we do is performed instantly from our point of view . its seems to write files of a couple of GB in just a few seconds.
