September 26, 201015 yr does anyone here use the SATA2 DDR2 HyperDrive5 (DDR2 based RAM disk)? http://www.hyperossystems.co.uk/ I was thinking about something really fast for a win system disk, and I thought about RAM disk as an alternative to flash based SSD.
September 26, 201015 yr Flash-based SSD is generally much cheaper and much faster. The advantage of DRAM-based disk is write cycles, so it never wears out. >Sustained Read Rate of 175 MB/s. >Sustained Write Rate of 145MB/s. An Ocz Vertex2 beats both of those benchmarks handily, for much less $$$/GB An Ocz RevoDrive delivers 500MB/sec sustained read and write for under $400 for 120GB. If you want Windows to smoke, use a conventional SSD or RevoDrive for the OS, put 8GB of RAM in and use a software RAMdisk (I use Vsuite (free)) to store your Windows profile, swap, and temp files.
September 27, 201015 yr Author thanks for your answer, I didnt know about the revo's. the 250gb version could be it for me, just checked the price at a Norwegian distributor.more expensive than US, but still affordable. btw, how big have you set your ramdrive for swap-file?
September 27, 201015 yr how big have you set your ramdrive for swap-file? Swap is limited to 400MB max. it is on the temp drive which is 4GB.
