True, but 8GB is now way too small for modern file servers, which is where you need this sort of performance. I know, I know: wait a few years, they'll be giving them away in cereal boxes...

| FoldWithUs! | sighist | µLaunch - program launcher for server core and hyper-v server.The first few computers I owned didn't have a Hard Disk at all. (Gadzooks! They hadn't even quantified hardness when I started.) the first 8 or so didn't have any form of disk.

You darn whipper snapper. First computer I used was an abacus! And it was considered new fangled! You kids and yer fancy things like buttons, and resistors and electricity. Back in my day our monitor was our eyes!
If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

So it's a ramdrive with a battery backup to flush to flash in a power failure... :zzz:
3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
If they make it a bit bigger, and pluggable like a normal drive, and it's actually available in stores, I'm in. yeah, consumers today. demanding way to much!

Gigabyte released a similar product 5 years ago for the PCI bus: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Storage/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2180[^]
