200mbps read/write with RAMdrives!!

wow.....wasn't there some sort of weird computer company that supposedly offered these? L computers or something?
Cool anyway.........
 
At one point I believe I saw ram drives on u320 scsi which will offer a better option for the number of drives and the speed from a single drive. Reading that article though their solution is interesting to say the least. They didn't hit 200MB/s with a single drive though, took a raid of 2 of them to get it up to that speed. Just a nice limitation of he sata 1 implementation they are using. I agree with their theory that sata 2 would have been much nicer than sata 1.

Looking at some more of their charts it looks likes you can get 2 15k scsi drives in raid 0 for about the same price as the ram drive. You could have more space, and more reliability that way too. The access times are probably the best part. Nothing will touch that.

Load times don't seem to change that much between the two ram drives in raid 0, vs a single 36 gig raptor. So that pure raw bandwidth really isn't translating to impressive performance. It looks like the biggest difference is around 5-6 seconds in load times and save times with a 309 gig file.
