Interesting suggestion. Unfortunately I'm limited to a SataII MB, so I'll need to factor in a SataIII card. Out of curiosity, why the Crucial part over the OCZ revodrive?

Oh wow... well beyond our price range, but very interesting. $200-$500 for this bandaid.
Very informative! Thank you for the replies drescherjm. The million dollar question is: Will these revodrives perform wear leveling like this as well? I have read somewhere that this was an...
I had a feeling I was looking into something that just didn't exist.
Perhaps I'm missing something here. What about the OCZ revodrive product line? That was our strong runner up should this prove to be a wild goose hunt. I was under the impression that the device was as close to a pure PCIe...
This is a tad embarrassing, but I can't give you the specifics you're asking for (because I do not know). The disk will not be so much for serving over the wire, as it will be used for internal (local to the box) processing. The server is running a few VMs, one being an NT4.0 VM running (a...
Newp. The modem / phone plan we were on at the time didn't allow for anything that fancy. The worst was when someone in the house picked up a phone and started dialing out. I haven't raged like that in the longest time... :eek:
The machine is already well in use. This controller / disk will not be booted from. No OS will be run from it. It would be purely used for high IO performance storage.
If the controller used DDR2, I think the cost could be kept low'ish. It's such a nitch product though... which makes me...
I've done a bit of searching on the topic and have come up empty handed. So... I'm branching out to see if any [H] readers have heard of a PCI-E RAM disk solution. Preferably I'd like to see 8-16GB capacity (but certainly won't scoff at more) with a large enough battery to support the ram for...
Well if they do decide to go with this insane bullshit, I guess I will be branching out to another carrier... unless they plan on dropping the cost of their basic services and add these (I have no social life so I don't really care for them) on to recoup the cost.
If they plan on just tacking...
